Huge Spider 5e

"That's a lot of webs..." Nimble said very quietly.

"With some really thick strands." Allianora said equally as quietly.

"What are the chances it's all from just one spider?" Rathgar asked.

Feris tried to swallow before answering, his throat suddenly parched. "Not good. Not good at all."

"What are the chances that our horse is still alive?" Allianora asked, knowing the answer.

I needed a slightly bigger spider than the Giant Spider from the MM. This is what I came up with for last night's game.

Hit: 2d8+5 piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 3d8 poison damage on a failed save, half on a successful one.

As an actiuon, the restrained target can make a DC 14 Strength check, bursting the webbing on a success.
