"How many spiders could you have in your party?" is a question nobody in their right mind should ask. Nobody. I don't care how many, one is too many! But EduEpsilon has answered that question, so yay us - they got 12 of the creepy arachnids crawling out of a cave in Baldur's Gate 3, filmed for our viewing 'pleasure'.
"Level 3 beastmaster," EduEpsilon started, explaining how they put together this abominable party if, for some reason, you wanted to do it yourself.

Others are looking to mods to expand the horrors of this idea, such as the no limits add-on that lets you bring every companion with you, instead of just three. If you download it, you could feasibly have 45 spiders. While it sounds disgusting, I'm coming around to the idea of dozens of spiders descending on Cazador
