Notes

  • The Attack roll uses Strength unlike all of Wolf Spider Companion Wolf Spider Companion's other abilities which use Dexterity. At level 11, the spider will have 18 Dexterity, but only 12 Strength, so this attack roll will be significantly more difficult than its other attacks.
  • Both the Damage TypesPiercing and Damage TypesPoison components of Infested Infested will be boosted by Companion's Bond Companion's Bond and Prey's Scent Prey's Scent for as long as the spider is alive. If the spider dies these bonuses will no longer apply.
