Nifft,

I'm not sure about the mage, but I know that the Avenger Druid's sword spider transformation does deal poison damage each hit. Sword Spiders within the game do not poison you, this is done by spiders, huge spiders, giant spiders and Wraith spiders (disease). The sword spider doesn't poison because they have much larger melee combat bonuses like 5 attacks per round. I've just loaded an earlier saved game and gone beneath the graveyard district and engaged some sword spiders and they just deal physical damage (i.e. no poison damage, and no saving throw messages). I was just pointing out that when my avengers druid shapeshifts into a sword spider, he deals poison whereas sword spiders within the game do not.
