Greetings all!
Please exuse my terrible english.

I am not sure yet if this should be an full out aspect to the necromancer or a whole new class yet, but i post my ida on the character, and if there seems to be an interest i shall detail it with mastery and more indepth details.

The Weaver’s are worshippers of the Spider god Arachne. A lesser diety, or aspect of Lysa (trough only a few know this).
Noone really knows the god exists or not, but the Weavers still pray to her, and heed the teachings of duality,predator,weawing and patience.

These teachings are the life style they live, the objective they want to acomplish. (when they do, they enlighten and become closer to there god)

Teachings like : Ignore the weak, and seek challange.(predator)
Life is more complex then anyone but, the SpiderGodess can understand. Weave your own path to her fawor (weaving)

Bacground story – Still in progress (i am free to suggestions)

As a caster-hybrid class they deploy “agression” magic. And tap on that bloodstone as well.
There spells are mostly based on spiders, webs, poisons, and darkness.

I make some skill examples, and show how the class mechanic works after that.

Staff : Choking Darkness –
The area gets covered with mist like darkness, that is taking the breath of foes Dealing damage. (also schills)
Swarm of Spiders – Summons a swarm of spiders that bite and bleed the target ower time. (aplly poison also)
Web – The caster shoots out a ball of web that explodes near the enemy, unmobilizing him. (instead of target it can be applyed to a wall like shape, and effects those who walk in it)

So basically the class mechanic is Favor . A small bar that fills up by casting spells, and when the bar is filled (it has 2 segments) atleast to half, the caster can assume the form of a fearsome giant spider, later on a Spider-human hybrid.
(i guess the widow form is fitting but you could pick your spider simbol in character creation)
When you assume Spider form, you get melee and medium range skillset, for dealing damage (thief.warrior like burst)
When you assume your “true” form the Sipder-Human hybrid form (where you keep your upper torso armor and items) you can cast spells, but stronger. The skills keep the original effect but also get bonuses that are showns in the ().

So what you think ppl? I personally missed a "divine class’ exspecially a caster, but this Shape shifting mechanic would be quite unique i think, and we would get a spider theme covered.
I understand that there are no gods right now, but noone knows that for sure, and ppl can worship something that is not present still, example human gods. It would also fit the lore (since its an aspect of lysa-trough noone really knows that for sure its just a rumor)

I am open to critic and suggestions.

A few more skill :

(keep in mind they are examples, noting certaint, its up to the devs anyway.

Petals of Death – The weaver plants blossoming lotus plants on the ground (target location) that release petals, and couse confusion ( the pollen becomes poison)

(As Arachne is a duality godess of Death and Beauty her followers use skills that are themed araund this duality like above)

Neurotoxin – The weaver spits mixed toxin that will stun the target for a short time, after that the foe becomes weakened. Also deals damage (if the target is poisoned deals more damage)

Claws of the Godess – A kit like utility skill (like engineers have) . (The Weaver can cast this also in Sipder-Hybrid form) . After using the skil the weaver gets a ful lset of 5 skills instead of weapon skills (keeping the current weapon stats), Changing his/her hands to claws ,that rend armor each time they struck
-Claw (claws the targets in front in a cone area) P2 : Claws with booth hands (inflicking 2 stack of vulnerability instead of 1)
and other 4 skills work in progress
