Flammable Blood. If the cave fisher drops to half its health or less, it gains vulnerability to fire damage.
Maneuvers. The cave fisher uses maneuvers (maneuver save Difficulty 13). It has 6 stamina dice which are d8s, a dice limit of 1, regains all expended stamina dice when it finishes a long rest, and regains half its total stamina dice when it finishes a short rest. It knows the following maneuvers:
1 stamina die: ambush, grapple (two claws), spring attack, swipe, tear flesh
Spider Climb. The cave fisher can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make a skill check.
Actions (2)
Claw (2/turn). Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage.
Adhesive Filament (1/turn). The cave fisher can extend a sticky filament up to 10 meters, and the filament adheres to anything that touches it. A creature adhered to the filament is grappled by the cave fisher (escape Difficulty 10), and skill checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage. The filament can be attacked (15 Defense; 5 Health; immunity to poison and psychic damage), but a weapon that fails to sever it becomes stuck to it, requiring an action and a successful Difficulty 12 Brawn check to pull free. Destroying the filament causes no damage to the cave fisher, which can extrude a replacement filament on its next turn
Filament (1/turn). One creature grappled by the cave fisher’s adhesive filament must make a Difficulty 12 Reflex saving throw, provided that the target weighs 100 kilos or less. On a failure, the target is pulled into an unoccupied space within 1 meter of the cave fisher, and the cave fisher makes a claw attack against it. Reeling up the target releases anyone else who was attached to the filament. Until the grapple ends on the target, the cave fisher can’t extrude another filament.
