Homebrew Arachne (Wakaza) Species Details

Ability Score Increase: Your Wisdom score increases by 2 and your Constitution score increases by 1.

Age: Arachne have relatively long lifespans. They physically mature at 20 but can life up to 200 years.

Alignment: Most are generally kind and gracious in nature, making them tend to be good and lawful, seldom straying towards chaos.

Size: Arachne's vary in height and build, from just over 4 feet to just under 6. Your size varies from Small or Medium.

Speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision: You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Spider Walk: You have a climb speed equal to your walking speed. You can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check. Additionally, you ignore movement restrictions caused by webbing.

Half & Half: Arachne can change between 3 forms to suit certain situations. A full human form to handle smaller more precise matters, a half human half spider form for bigger problems, and a full spider form that is not as large as the half form for hiding or maneuverability. 

Poison Bite: Some Arachne have poisonous bites, but it can only be used in half form and full spider form. The poisons are usually not life threatening, either being a paralytic or enemies being too large for the poison to act. Large enemies are practically immune to the poison. (Based on this: Crawler Mucus (Contact): This poison must be harvested from a dead or incapacitated crawler. A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. The poisoned creature is paralyzed. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.)

Webbing: A special webbing that can create a layer over armor that does not add to the weight of the armor; it disappears after a certain amount of turns in battle. Can only be done 1 time every long rest. Only adds 1AC for the time being. (WIP)

Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and Yokai.
