Draft of improved page here

 

[Qawsedf234]

All I have is some minor wording adjustments

• Enhanced Senses (Have night vision) -> Should be "Has night vision"
• Thread Manipulation and Preparation (Can secrete webs which they often use for traps, they can also shoot their webs) - > I would change this to "Thread Manipulation (Can secrete webs as well as shoot them), Preparation (Uses their webs for lay traps)"
• Animal Manipulation (Spiders and monstrous vermin are attracted to it, to such an extent that Ettercaps can raise them like dogs) -> I would change "Attracted to it" to "Shares a common spirit with spiders and scorpions, allowing Ettercaps to raise them like dogs". Also this may not be a power outside of like, limited social influencing. Because I don't think we'd give a human Animal Manipulation for taking a stray dog or cat and raising them
• Weapon Mastery (Some Ettercaps have shown proficency in either greataxes[4] or longspears[4]) -> Honestly I'd just remove this. Being able to use a spear or greataxe doesn't mean they're better than an average person with a spear or greataxe.

Rest is fine

Isn’t referring to species abilities as if I’m talking about a they though?

Unless I really don't understand 4e modifiers isn't theirs for attacks above regular humans and can only be achieved via proficieny?

I mean you can't really raise spiders like a dog irl so

While true, it's usually followed by the species first isn't it? Like "Bats have ecolocation".

I believe the +5 is from strength, though I'm not familiar with how the +9 becomes a thing.

mean you can't really

Sure, but Ettercaps also can't raise dogs like spiders. They share a bond which allows them to he tamed, but that's the same for humans and dogs. It's not really animal manipulation as the Ettercap can't just forcefully mind contr or order a spider around without training them first.

Ig I can write it as "They have night vision"?

+5 seems to be for damage which fits with the +5 in strength
+9 is accuracy since it's what it uses for hitting, and heck it seems like it it's a higher bonus then what you get of just being proficent in it since both weapons just give a +2 when you're

Hm fair enough, I'll remove it then

That is true. So yeah they can have weapon mastery still to show the greater proficiency.

[Qawsedf234]
