Spider Lord

“

By the spider queen's will, I am as a lord among spiders

”

Prerequisite: Paladin, Worship either Lolth or Arachne

You, and you alone have lordship over the spider queen's children. Given mastery over their kind, you can command and control spiders where others believe it to be impossible. You are truly one of them, fighting in battle with mastery of the spider's fighting techniques.

Spider Lord Path Features

Saltacidic Pounce (11th Level): When an enemy you have marked with your Divine Challenge power makes an attack that does not include you as a target, you can teleport adjacent to it and make a basic melee attack against it as an immediate reaction.

Spider-step Action (11th Level): When you spend an action point, you also gain a move action.

Command Spiders (16th 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.
