Priestess of the Spider

“

Praise to the spider queen!

”

Prerequisite: Cleric or Arachnomancer class, Worship either Lolth or Arachne

You are a devoted preistess of the spider queen, far more powerful than lesser priestesses. You have followed the spider queen unquestioningly, and you have been rewarded with a mastery over spiders far beyond that of other priestesses.

Priestess of the Spider Path Features

Command Spiders (11th Level): You gain the Command Spiders feat as a bonus feat. If you do not have the channel divinity class feature, you gain it (as the cleric's class feature), except that you do not gain the turn undead or divine fortune powers.

Spider Companion (11th Level): You gain the ranger's beast mastery class feature. Your beast companion must be a spider.

Spider Queen's Wrath (16th Level): When you become first bloodied in an encounter, you unleash a wave of spiders that swarm around your foes, dealing 5 + your Charisma modifier poison damage all all your enemies within 10 squares.
