Web Sling

“STOP SQURIMING! If you fall i’m not going to catch you!” - Tharina, druid of the woven cave, to their rogue companion

3rd-level Transmutation

Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard, Druid, Warlock Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a small spool of spider silk)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

Description:

You conjure strands of sticky, durable webbing that allow you to swing through the air, much like a spider. While the spell is active, you gain the following abilities:

  • Web Sling: As a bonus action, you can shoot a strand of webbing to a point within 60 feet that can support your weight. This allows you to move to that point in a straight line, avoiding any obstacles in the path, without provoking opportunity attacks. You can use this ability to swing from object to object, giving you a movement speed of 60 feet while swinging. At the end of the movement, you can stay in the surface you landed but moving from it requires another bonus action to shoot another strand of webbing or you fall to the ground.

  • Web Snare: As an action, you can shoot a strand of webbing at a creature within 30 feet. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be restrained by the webbing. A restrained creature can make a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check against your spell save DC at the end of each of its turns, freeing itself on a success. The webbing has an AC of 10 and 10 hit points, and is vulnerable to fire damage.

  • Web Barricade: As an action, you can create a 10-foot cube of webbing at a point within 30 feet. This webbing acts as difficult terrain, and a creature entering or starting its turn in the webbing must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained by it.

At Higher Levels:

  • Spider Jump: As a bonus action, you can jump a distance equal to your movement speed in any direction.
  • Web Climb: You can climb vertical surfaces and move across ceilings, as if under the effects of the Spider Climb spell.

  • Web Shield: As a reaction when you are hit by an attack, you can create a shield of webbing to reduce the damage taken by 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier.
