Welcome To The Spider-Verse

In every dimension within the Spider-Verse, there are a set of events that create a hero known as a Spider-Totem. From Peter Parker of Earth-616 to Spiders-Man of Earth-11580, every universe is protected by a Spider-Totem.

With Great Power…

Spider-Totems learn quite early in their journey to face tragedy, with sudden power thrust upon them, they must quickly learn how to keep themselves in control and to use their powers for good. However, no matter how quick the Spider-Totem masters their web-slinging abilities, they all seem to learn the same lesson: With great power comes great responsibility, and even greater tragedy.

Becoming a Spider-Totem

There are many ways to become a Spider-Totem, but all Spider-People are united by their similar origin: the bite of a radioactive spider, and the death of Uncle Ben. Though there are many differences in each Spider-Totem’s story, the impact remains the same: The Spider-Sense and Tragedy. It is the mix of great power and a great loss in their lives that calls a bitten individual to truly become both a Spider-Totem and a hero.

You don’t decide to be a Spider-Totem, Its how you use with your newfound power that will truly make you a hero.

During questionable situations, people may be likely to wave it off as part of your brooding nature.

Comedic Hero

You have a quick-wit and killer comedic timing. You attempt to bring a smile to the people around you while you save the day, and hope to make the world perhaps a little better one joke at a time.

• Skill Proficiencies: Performance (CHA), and choose 1: Sleight of Hand (DEX) or Acrobatics (DEX)

• Languages: None

• Equipment: Gaming set, a cellphone, a pouch containing 10gp, musical instrument x1, and choose 1: glamour suit or agile suit

Feature: Contagious Laughter

Since you’ve made a good name of yourself with your quick-wit and humour, you know how to relate and impress most folks around you. People will be generally more open to your presence even if they are in opposition to you, which could spare you some time in a tricky situation.

Additionally, people of higher class will tend to be more protective of you. Nobles like to protect their jesters.

 

 

Bounty Hero

Your heroism is more of a job than a personal emotional commitment. You may consider criminals as nothing more than numbers, or perhaps you’re filling a duty to another, your heroics are more of a means to an end.

• Skill Proficiencies: Perception (WIS), and choose 1: Investigation (INT) or Intimidation (CHA)

• Languages: Any x1

• Equipment: Navigator’s tools, a cellphone, forgery kit, a pouch containing 15gp, and choose 1: brawler suit or protective suit

Feature: Ear To the Ground

You are in frequent contact with people in the segment of society that your chosen quarries move through. These people might be associated with the criminal underworld, the rough-and-tumble folk of the streets, or members of high society. This connection comes in the form of a contact in any city you visit, a person who provides information about the people and places of the local area.

Investigative Hero

Knowing your opponents is half of the battle. You spend your time investigating those who may cause harm or damage and always come up with the best plan for the job to make your heroics as clean as possible.

• Skill Proficiencies: Investigation (INT), and choose 1: Insight (WIS), Perception (WIS) or Survival (WIS)

• Languages: Any x2

• Equipment: Disguise kit, a cellphone, a pouch containing 10gp, hacking tools x1, and choose 1: techno suit or stealth suit

Feature: Official Inquiry

You’re experienced at gaining access to people and places to get the information you need. Through a combination of fast-talking, determination, and official-looking documentation, you can gain access to a place or an individual related to a crime you’re investigating. Those who aren’t involved in your investigation avoid impeding you or pass along your requests. Additionally, local law enforcement has firm opinions about you, viewing you as either a nuisance or one of their own.

Scholarly Hero

Between heroism, you are a studious mind who looks to expand their knowledge of both heroics and of the world itself. You always try to look for another angle in every aspect of your life, including in your heroic duties.

• Skill Proficiencies: Arcana (INT), and choose 1: History (WIS), Nature (INT) or Religion (INT)

• Languages: Any x3

• Equipment: Artisan’s tools, a cellphone, a pouch containing 5gp, hacking tools x1, and choose 1: techno suit or agile suit

Feature: Scholarly Insight

When you attempt to learn or recall a piece of lore, if you do not know that information, you often know where and from whom you can obtain it. Usually, this information comes from a library, scriptorium, university, or a sage or other learned person or creature. Your DM might rule that the knowledge you seek is secreted away in an almost inaccessible place, or that it simply cannot be found. Unearthing the deepest secrets of the multiverse can require an adventure or even a whole campaign.

Symbiotic Hero

You are not alone. Whether an escapee from a lab or a result of a choice encounter, your heroics are done with a few extra hands and an occasional hunger for pancreas.

• Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation (CHA) and choose 1: Athletics (STR), Acrobatics (DEX) or Stealth (DEX)
• Languages: Klyntar
• Equipment: Disguise kit, a cellphone, a trinket of your past (a necklace, ring, heirloom, etc.), and a symbiote suit.

Feature: Symbiotic Relationship

Due to your symbiotic nature, people tend to be off-put by your intimidating presence. This may mean that, out of fear, they’ll provide you with small trinkets or information for the sake of protecting themselves.

Additionally, you can speak telepathically with your symbiote from any distance and accross realms if you become separated.
