|-
|'''Arachnid Familiar'''
|Witch Entry
|Your familiar aesthetically looks like a spider regardless of its current form, using silk threads to float on the wind if it is a flying familiar.
Regardless of its form, it gains a special attack that it can make using its 1 AP.
* '''''Web Spit (1/Recoup):''''' ''Ranged 20 ft Natural Weapon.'' +DEX vs ANT. '''Hit:''' Target is Suppressed until it removes the webbing. It may escape the webbing as though escaping being Grappled. The DC is 10 + your END. The webbing remains on that 5 ft area after the creature is no longer Suppressed. It is Difficult Terrain and is highly flammable. It disintegrates after 10 minutes.
|''Witch, Aranea''
|-
|'''Web Weaver'''
|Arachnid Familiar
|As your affinity with the strange powers of arachnids deepens, you may spend SP to cast lines or nets of webbing.
Gain the following unique spell. This counts as an occult or primal spell for you depending on the source you chose for
Witch Magic.
'''Aranea's Web'''
''Occult or Primal Spell, Altering, Nature''
'''APC:''' 2
'''SPC:''' 4
'''Range:''' Special
'''Requires:''' Gesture, Visual
'''Duration:''' 10 minutes
The webbing is a 20 ft line originating from you, or a 5 ft radius centered on a point within 40 ft of you.
The webbing is Difficult Terrain. A creature may make a DEX check to ignore Difficult Terrain created by a line by beating a DC of 10 + your END. If they succeed, they are unhindered; if they fail, they fall Prone and lose the rest of their movement from their current action.
When you create a net of webbing, you may make a magic attack against the ANT of each creature in the radius.
On a hit, the creature is Suppressed until it removes the webbing. It may escape the webbing as though escaping being Grappled. The DC is 10 + your END.
All webbing created by this spell is highly flammable. It dissolves after 10 minutes.
