Widowmaker (4e Paragon Path)

This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Encounter powers should not cause ongoing damage. Spider's Fang is a daily power, but provides no Effect or Miss conditions. You can help D&D Wiki by better balancing the mechanics of this page. When the mechanics have been changed so that this template is no longer applicable please remove this template.

[edit] Widowmaker

“

Do you feel the venom's burn as it races through your veins? Good. It won't be long now. A pity. I would have liked to prolong your pain a little longer!

”

Prerequisite: Arachnomancer class

You are truly venomous, like the widowmaker spiders that you revere. You alone know the subtleties of the deadly venom, and you alone have mastered its use. You destroy your foes with the deadly venom of the spider. And without the giveaway of that eight-legged countenance.

[edit] Widowmaker Path Features

Lore of Venom (11th Level): You gain a bonus to damage rolls with powers that have the poison keyword equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1).

Toxic Burst (11th Level): When you reduce an enemy to 0 hit points or below, you unleash a burst of venom (burst 2 around the enemy). All creatures caught in the burst take poison damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1).
