Nano Spider[edit]

Background[edit]

The Nano Spider is the combination of a mad Artificer and a deranged spider Wizard who had a crazy idea of making an army of humanoid spiders by experimenting on said humanoids.After decades of failed experimenting they finally produced one fully functional Nano Spider.But with your determination and new found powers you escaped and now with no where to go you lead a life of adventure to gain strength and stop your former captors. A human ran away from the harsh experimentation with no money and no identity he hid in the sewers coming up only when he heard that trouble was brewing the townspeople thank him with a meal and drink everyday as long as he keeps there small stead safe.

An elf was not so lucky, tortured and starved until she complied with orders her soul broken she became an assassin for her captors, for years she killed and with her skills she was never caught until she met a man who changed her life forever.

One who escapes the spider experiment has no where to go although they have skills to defend themselves they never felt the love of a family or the rush of adventure a true blank slate are what these lucky few are good and evil lawful and chaos will have their tug on their minds but the question is what now where does one go, do they seek revenge or do they run forever never knowing if their captors will be back these are the decisions you have to make after picking the Nano spider.

Webs[edit]

At 1st level, as a spider you are have the power to spin webs. Your access to your spider powers is represented by a number of web points, which you can spend to fuel various nano spider features. When you spend a web point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest.

Some of your nano spider features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. In this case, the DC is calculated as 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. The webs have a durability of 20 hit points and are vulnerable to fire damage.

Web swing

Provided there is terrain for you to swing on, you can spend 1 web point to move up to 60 feet in any direction, including vertically, by swinging yourself to to the new point. Doing so counts as your movement on this turn.

Ensnare

As an action you can spend 1 web point to attempt to ensnare a creature no larger than Large size within 50 feet of you. The creature must succeed Dexterity saving throw or become restrained until broken free, and at the end of each of it's turns the target may make a Strength check, ending the effect on a success. Additionally, you can spend 2 web points instead of 1 to attempt to ensnare two creatures that are within 5 feet of each other.

Spider Web

As an action you can use 1 web point to make a giant spider web at a point of your choice within 50 feet of you. The webs fill a 20-foot cube and stay there for 1 day. They can support you and one other medium sized creature. The webs are difficult terrain and lightly obscure their area. If the webs aren't anchored between two solid masses (such as wall or trees or across a floor, wall, or ceiling, the conjured web collapses on itself, and the webs disappear at the start of your next turn. Webs layered over a flat surface have a depth of 5 feet.

Spider Climb[edit]

You have the ability to climb up walls like a spider. At 1st level, you can climb up and across most surfaces without needing to make an ability check, you ignore restrictions to movement caused by webbing and While in contact with a web, you know the exact location of any other creature in contact with the same web.

Martial Arts[edit]

At 1st level your strikes deal more power thanks to your spider lineage. Use the table to determine how much damage you deal. You gain the following benefits when you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a shield:

You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes or monk weapon. You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you gain Nano Spider levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Nano Spider table. When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn.

Unarmored Defense[edit]

Once you reach 2nd level, the nano energy and the training in battle have make your body more defensive. Your defense is 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

Nano Sense[edit]

Both Archetypes are detailed at the end of the class. Your Archetype grants you features at 3rd, 6th, 10th, 14th and 18th level.

Ability Score Increase[edit]

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
