Aranea Silk

An aranea can produce webbing which can be spun in pieces of any length. A web strand is about a quarter-inch in diameter and strong enough to suspend about 500 pounds. A strand can be severed easily by a sharp-edged object, but is incredibly relilient against blunt force. Aranea are generally good with cloth, and make fine clothing with the silk they produce.
This long silk is spun by the aranea. It is most often transformed into a shirt, made from the alchemically treated silk. This silk is woven in layers specifically designed to trap piercing weapons, snagging them so they fail to harm the wearer.
After being treated alchemically, this material is almost always woven into a masterwork silk tunic (included in the cost). This is considered padded armor but it can be worn under any other type of armor adding no weight and offering DR 3/slashing and bludgeoning. The price of items crafted of aranea silk is increased by +1,150 gp.
