Otherworldly Patron: Astral Arachnid
TW: spiders¸ death
When an asteroid spider lives to a great old age¸ and has fed on many crews to grow to a great size¸ it can achieve incredible power. Wise enough to command language and potentially more reasonable than lesser examples of their kind¸ astral arachnids often indulge their begging prey with deals and bargains. Very potent astral arachnids can make pacts with mortals¸ gifting them supernatural abilities. In return¸ with little want for flesh in their plenty¸ these patrons' hunger is sublimated to desire the souls of those whom their followers fell. Scholars suggest that spiritual consumption at the jaws of an astral arachnid is a more usual and crueler end than the torture of devils or the judgement of angels.
The Astral Arachnid Otherworldly Patron is a Warlock subclass for Spelljammer or any other campaign with a space or spider theme.
