    DEX Quick

    You weave strands of sticky, translucent energy that splatter across walls, floors, and ceilings like a spider's web. The threads cling to every surface they touch, forming a tangled mass that obstructs passage. Any creature that enters or starts its turn within the affected area must succeed on a DEX Quick save or become restrained. The threads are nearly invisible, shimmering faintly when struck by light.

    At Higher Levels

    At 3rd level, the web can stretch up to 60 feet across. At 6th level, restrained creatures take 1d4 acid damage when they first fail their save, but not again while held. At 9th level, the web can reach 60 feet across and 20 feet high.

    Special

    The threads can be burned away with fire, dealing 2d6 fire damage and 1d4 to any creature within 5 feet of the burning strands.
