@ Gregorovitch I'm pretty sure the human trooper might be bringing a fairly big gun, which would even the odds quite a bit. I mean, it's what humans do, isn't it? We suck fysically but we compensate with better tools. A human-sized spider would murder a human ten ways to sunday in an unarmed hand-to-leg fight but then there's absolutely no reason why a human would fight that way in the first place unless said human really wanted to become a snack. In a more realistic conflict, I'm guessing an automatic magazine-fed shotgun would work wonders against big spiders with massive heads. Flamethrowers and shrapnel grenades might not be entirely useless either. And let's not get carried away by the thought of innocent little eight-leggers getting pounded by .50 cal or HEI rounds, please. @ Osito I'm slightly arachnophobic, as it happens, but I'm actually more scared of semi-suicidal gremlings that reproduce like rabbits and have an inflated ego and zero understanding of their own limitations than of intelligent spiders with anger management issues. The spiders are intelligent and can be reasoned with while the Atuuks are dumber, angrier Ewoks with immense reproduction to make up for their lacking cute-factor. And about the avatar, I don't usually care to dig one up, but I felt it was a good fit, all things considered. [:)]
