Powers

Call Reinforcements

As an Arachnos Soldier you have access to a small squadron of Arachnobot Disruptors. Two Disruptors that are one level less than you will show up when summoned.

Editor's Note: Armor plating gives Arachnobot Disruptor some resistance to smashing and lethal damage. They are generally well insulated to resist energy damage and EMP attacks. As machines, they are very resistant to psionic damage. Arachnobots are good jumpers and are very fast.
