Isnt Bursting Brood a really bad ability? why would you use it and then get infected when you need to attack or when an enemy runs close to you and dies, spreading the infection?

Don't sleep on this companion. Despite not having proficiency in perception or stealth it still has 10 stealth and 6 perception making it better at stealth than the wolf and better at noticing things than the raven. I don't know about it's advanced forms as these are the stats present at level 3...

Arachnid Jump wording seems to be a lie. It only has a 6m jump. 1 more metre than a 8 strength character

What's the spell dc made out of? Does your Wis influence it?

On one hand this is a great companion - high defense, mobility and utility. Web is a great opener in combat out of stealth to slow down enemies and give your team advantage against enbwebbed. However... this guy gets stuck all of the time, especially if there are narrow corridors or any jumping required. It is a pain to start a fight and then notice your spider is halfway across the map. Also NPCs run away screaming, which is funny but I think may break some quests. I'm thinking the raven may be a better choice for quality of life.

This pet is absolutely broken!
It can leap in and engage without your party getting in combat. It can take an absolute beating (while still dealing high damage)
And if it dies? Well you just summon a new one, for absolute free, and now that one jumps in and carries on the job.
What were they thinking!? XD

So this pet has more health, more armor class, it can web *and* poison enemies, its bite has +4 to hit as opposed to the wolf's +2 and it has a 20 meter jump. Nice balancing.

Wait.. 32 hp?? More than a bear, who supposed to be a tank?
Bursting brood Would be really good on an expendable summon, put it on a zombie and send it in to trigger opportunity attacks and Infect everyone
