Your Charisma score increases by 2, and your Dexterity score increases by 1.

Aranea have the capability to live long lives, as all magical beings do, but tend to die relatively young due to the dangers of their habitats. They can live up to 200 years.

Usually pacifistic and nonviolent, most aranea lean towards neutral or good alignments.

In their human forms, aranea have similar size and build to humans, while their hybrid forms may be slightly taller and lankier, and their natural forms can range between 4 and 8 feet long. You are Medium in every form.

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

You know the Poison Spray cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast Web with this trait and regain the ability to do so after a Long or a Short Rest. You can only cast these spells while in hybrid or natural form and do not require verbal components to cast them. While you are standing on a web that you have created through any ability, you have Blindsense across the entire surface of the web.

Used to the dark, humid air of swamps and possessing multiple eyes, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. 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, and can only access this ability in hybrid or natural forms.

According to legend, the aranea were created by Calishite Wizards during a war with the drow, in order to infiltrate their ranks and take them down from the inside. As an action once per day, you can transform into a spider-humanoid hybrid, a humanoid (human, half-elf, or rarely drow), or your true spider form. This transformation lasts until you die or shift again as an action. You gain additional uses of your shifting as you level, able to shift twice per day at level 4, three times per day at level 8, four times per day at level 12, five times per day at level 16, and six times per day at level 19.

Human Form
You are indistinguishable from any natural humanoid, except by magical means. This does not include detect magic, but any creature with truesight will be aware of your true form, and you will be forced back into your true form by the Moonbeam spell or other similar effects.

Hybrid Form
You look similar to your human form, with the addition of sharp, curved fangs spinnerets and four eyes. Rarely, an aranea's hybrid form will also include additional arms.
When you create an aranea, roll 1d20. On a 1-17, your hybrid form has 2 arms, on an 18, it has 4 arms, on a 19, it has 6 arms, and on a 20, it has 8 arms. These arms are spindly and too weak to grapple or make attacks with.
Setules
Your hands and feet are covered in tiny, arrow-shaped hairs that allow you to grip walls and ceilings. You gain a climbing speed of 15ft
Strong legs
You have advantage on checks to climb rope.

Natural Form
In your true form, you appear as a giant (between 4 and 8 feet long) humpbacked spider, with a pair of short, humanoid arms ending in many jointed fingers and double-jointed thumbs below their mandibles in addition to their regular eight legs. In this form, your brain is encased in the hump on your back, instead of your head segment.
Mandibles
Instead of a human mouth, you have a short, strawlike mouthpart designed for drinking liquefied prey. While in this form you cannot speak or cast spells with a verbal component.
Unconventional Anatomy
Saddles and mounts are incapable of accommodating your body in this form. You cannot mount creatures without a specifically designed saddle and a mount trained to work with this form.
Oh Lord that's a big spider
You are a gigantic, horrifying spider. While in this form you can use people's instinctual fear of spiders against them. You have Advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks, but Disadvantage on all other Charisma checks.
Setules
You are designed to climb and have the perfect anatomy for this. While in this form you have 30ft climbing speed and can walk along walls and ceilings.
At Home in the Web
You can add your proficiency bonus to any checks to avoid or escape webs that are not your own. If it is a check you already have proficiency in, you can add double your proficiency bonus to the checks. Additionally, you can move across your own webs without any difficulty.
