Circle of the Web Walkers (5e Subclass)

Web Walker

People typically view Druids of the Circle of the Web Walkers with suspicion, as many fear arachnids. These druids typically are shunned by the common people, and can only find comfort with their own Circle and spiders. Sometimes, all of these druids may come together into swarms of spiders and invade numerous forests and towns. They enjoy the fear that they cause in the people, and will scuttle anywhere to sate this desire. The longer you stay in this circle, the more spiderlike you become. One day, you will be them. One day.
