How does the Spider's -2 attack penalty work, and does a natural 1 still miss?
Several forum replies in different threads agree on the arithmetic, but no designer ruling is quoted.

The -2 is applied to the attack roll, and the distance is counted in squares in any direction from the attacker's space to the Spider. Only a natural 1 is an automatic miss, and the modified total still has to reach the distance: at one space a modified 3 hits, but a modified 2 does not. Line of sight is still needed.
