You slighted a dangerous mage in your past, be it a hag or just a really powerful wizard, and they decided to make you pay for your remarks. You've been cursed to have the form of a half-arachnid, possessing features from your base race and spiders. After being banished from your home by those who became afraid of your monstrous form, you now travel the lands trying to find a cure for your curse.
You must pick at least 2 spider-like features to add to your character (fangs, multiple eyes, multiple limbs, etc.), or roll from the table. Duplicate features can be ignored when rolling from the table.
- Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation + Stealth, Animal Handling, Survival, Deception
- Languages: Two of your choice
- Equipment: A vial of spider venom, a lantern, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp.
As a half-spider, you have the following abilities that you may perform once before needing a short or long rest:
- Spin web, you may choose how to use this web, be it a trap or using it to swing over a gap.
- Venomous bite, when performing an unarmed attack, add [roll]1d4[/roll] + CON modifier poison damage to the attack. The target must make a constitution save or be poisoned until the end of their next round.
- Intimidation, you may choose a creature that is within your line of sight and attempt to intimidate them with your monstrous appearance. The target must make a wisdom save against your intimidation skill or be frightened for 2 minutes. The creature does not have to be aware of your presence.
Suggested Characteristics
You may have been cursed by an evil hag, in which case you don't need to be evil, but if you slighted a powerful wizard, you may have a tendency to be evil/neutral or chaotic. You might also be arrogant, or snobby.
