    You don't get every attribute of the creatures you are changed into (like HP), I would guess that is just one of those that didn't transfer. I agree that it should be a natural attribute that would carry over.

    [​IMG] That was very surprising! I had never actually tried that out so I didn't know. Thanks for posting about it!

    (Tried playing an Avenger through Irenicus' Dungeon once but that's all.)

    The same thing happened to me, and in Irenicus's Dungeon too. That Ogre Mage (?? whoever/whatever the Genie Aatuque (sp?) summons) nearly killed me as I sat transformed into a sword spider, trapped in a web before I could bring Minsc to bear. Yikes!

    Even though you have tranformed into a spider physically, you dont have its MIND, as in a spiders web every second layer of the webbing is just like a silk so in truth you wouldnt know which strand is which.
    Also, the web is magical so it may be different from regular webs.

    No. A bug it is not. A bug by default is something that is broken; players as spiders not getting stuck in webs is simply something that was not implemented. Donning or shapeshifting into spider form obviously doesn't give you immunity to those spells, although logically it should. (Even per spell description.)

    So maybe it was an oversight or simply noted as a waste of time to implement...

    @Dudette: You never get turned into drow. That's just an illusion, so you don't get their attributes

    @Daevaeron Dererath: If you're an avenger (druid kit) you can change into salamander, baby wyvvern, spider and the other normal forms (wolf, bear ect).
