Though the Weaver often condones bad decisions so long as a lesson is learned, and is even willing to accept being fairly tricked herself, cruelty and predation upon the weak draw her outrage.

  • Minor Boon Grandmother Spider rescues your prank from the jaws of failure. Once, when you would fail a Deception check, you critically succeed instead. Grandmother Spider typically grants this boon for deceptions that are necessary for an interesting or consequential prank.

  • Moderate Boon: You can feel tugs on the strands of fate. You gain a +2 status bonus to initiative rolls.

  • Major Boon: Grandmother Spider rejoices in freedom and tricks those who would limit it. Any time you would become grabbed, immobilized, or restrained, attempt a DC 10 flat check. On a success, you ignore the effect, and the originator of the effect becomes grabbed, immobilized, or restrained instead. If this simply causes a creature to grab itself, it can usually Escape as a free action, but it might be stuck if it tried to immobilize you in other ways.

  • Minor Curse: When your pranks start going wrong, they dissolve into a string of catastrophic failures. When you roll a failure on a Deception or Stealth check, you get a critical failure instead.

  • Moderate Curse Grandmother Spider weaves a web to ensnare you, and you trail webs behind you wherever you go. You become permanently slowed and take a –10-foot circumstance penalty to your Speeds.

  • Major Curse: Grandmother Spider throws all of her might behind the underdog. Any time a creature with a level lower than yours rolls a success on a check against you, it critically succeeds instead; any time you roll a failure on a check against a creature with a level lower than yours, you critically fail instead.
