Arachnomancer Initiate (2024)

The secret art of the Arachnomancer has been revealed to you, but this is only the beginning of your studies into this dark art. You've learned to speak with spiders and take their form, learned to cast Web and Spider Climb without the need for material components or concentration. 

Requirements: Level 4+ Wizard

Your Intelligence increases by 1 to a maximum of 20.

 Friend of Spiders. You can cast the spell Speak with Animals at will, but only to communicate with arachnids. You also have advantage on Animal Handling checks made with arachnids.

 Spider Spells. You learn the spells Spider Climb and Web if you don't already know them. You can cast these spells without material components and they no longer require concentration. The spells still require a spell slot to cast.

 Spider Shape. As a bonus action, you magically transform into a Spider or Giant Spider, remaining in that form for up to 1 hour, or back into your true form. Your statistics, other than size, are the same in each form. You can speak and cast spells while in spider form. Any equipment you are wearing or carrying in Humanoid form melds into the spider form.
