Spiderbound[edit]

A spider rages within me. Do not cross me, or, by the spider queen's blessing, I shall loose it upon you!

Prerequisite: Arachnomancer class

Spiderbound Path Features[edit]

Poison Touch (11th Level): You can secrete poison from special glands in your palms. When an opponent provokes an opportunity attack from you, make an opportunity attack with one of your hands (Charisma Vs. AC). You deal 1d8 + Charisma modifier poison damage with this attack.
Sudden Swarm (11th Level): When you reduce an enemy to 0 hit points or below, you create a zone (burst 1 around the enemy). The zone lasts until the end of your next turn.
