Spiders Hanging from a Thread
How would you best represent the ability of a spider to hang from the ceiling. I've so far been thinking of flight but is there a better way?

Walk on Air (Requires anchor points within x distance -y%) where y is derived from Reduced Range. For actual spiders you run into the 1 hex scale problem though, in that case I'd rescale.

Re: Spiders Hanging from a Thread
Once you've dished out the 20 points for Clinging and more points for Binding, being able to use webbing as a climbing line is at best a 1-point Accessory perk. It isn't a whole lot more useful than a bit of rope; the "being able to spit it out" part is mostly paid for in Binding, while the "nifty anchor point on the ceiling" part is what Clinging got you.

Put another way . . . Just a line/web/rope for climbing: Accessory (Climbing Line) [1]. Rapid ascent/descent: Super Climbing [3/level]. Easy climbing (unnecessary with Clinging): +1 to +3 to Climbing [2/level]. If you can also swing laterally, add Brachiator [5] -- possibly with the Enhanced Move (Air; Environmental, Trees or tall buildings, -20%) [16/level] recommended in Powers. Actually, Accessory [1], Super Climbing 1 [3], and +3 to Climbing [6] is a nice 10-point package. And Brachiator [5] is a good add-on.

Re: Spiders Hanging from a Thread
TK (Visible -20%; Pulling only) should also work, depending on what you ultimatly whant to achieve...
