How to learn

Classes:

• Class level 11: Beast Master

Used by creatures: Aranea Aculeata

Notes

• The  Attack roll uses Strength unlike all of  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 ⁠Piercing and ⁠Necrotic components of  Infested will be boosted by  Companion's Bond and  Prey's Scent for as long as the spider is alive. If the spider dies these bonuses will no longer apply.
