webber Webber rework concept!

[ArcerPL]

All we know that webber is just a spider wilson, really his only power is achievable by wearing spiderhat on other characters, meaning that most of the time he's useless to the team besides beeing a good monster meat source with wendy. This idea however will maybe change things a bit in him to make webber not only useful, maybe even boost his powers a bit (also maybe add spider critter with this)

As my other ideas, this will be broken to different perks and cons, let us go then!

- We can make a sticky snowball! - the name of that might sound disgusting, but it's a way of making spider web balls that works like ewecus way of fighting you, just for shorter time (aka 3 seconds, not 10 like in ewecus), but it cant be destroyed and works on other mobs, also you can craft this from nothing, webber is a spider, but since it's kinda op, webber can't craft more than 3 of it in the timer of 7 days (so you can craft 3 of this per week in don't starve, it forces you to use it wisely or just store it until big amounts, which gonna take a long time of surviving).

- Spiders are like doggies! - As webber, you will be able to manipulate what type of spider is most useful one, not in the way that you need to craft them, more like feeding them different foods and taking care of them, if you keep feeding them ice, they will become ice spiders that spits a very low damage projectiles that can freeze the opponent, but the freezing requires at least 20 shots. What do i mean? I mean manipulating the spider type by different needs just like humanity did it with dogs, i don't want to make you bored, because the possibilities are almost infinite and its klei decision what to add.

- Our friends are your friends too! - Spider dens built by webber will spawn spiders, that won't aggro other players as long as the player don't attack the den, as a player and webber you will be also able to pet spiders, for humanlike characters, it will decrease sanity, but will make a spider follow you, for wurt and webber it will be sanity up and spider will follow you (i mean both are children and monsters) and for wortox and WX-78 it won't do anything other than make a spider follow you. This perk makes Webber extremely useful if pigs aren't enough force to fight something. Oh! and also other players can feed spiders from webber spider den too to decide their type. This also applies for spider queen that spawns from webbers spider den, she won't attack unless someone attacks her.

- We don't like when our family is fighting - you heard it, no more spider wars or webber will have HUGE sanity drain, even bigger when fighting deerclops, the more spiders join to fight each other, the lesser sanity you have, and also, the spiders will occasionaly bite you too, you're no different from other spiders, why won't they attack you too then? Webber will also need to stay away when abigail is murdering spiders too, because the same thing with sanity happens, and abigail also can hit webber mistaking him with other spiders.

- Where is our friends? - ignoring first 7 days, webber will have constant sanity drain if he's not close to spiders, it will be small sanity drain, but still, just to give a downside of not beeing close to your spider friends, if you are close to spiders, the sanity drain will stop for 2 days and after that time, you need to repeat, you know the drill

- Bullies are stronger than us... - Bunnymen, pigs and catcoons will hit webber harder than on any other character, not only that, if webber is close to pig/rabbit huts, he will have a sanity drain, webber also can't build their huts because he fears of beeing hit by them. That means webber completely rely on spiders if he's solo and he can't easily make meat farms

- Mr Warly taught us to make meals! - that thing means there will be way more monster food varietes, so no more meatballs made with monster meat and ice, this maybe is great for webber, but is a huge downside to other characters. 

- I WANT SUGAAAR - Webber is a child, it's logical that kids wants sweets no matter what, so, if webber at least once a day won't eat something sweet, he will have a hunger drain that can be compared to helf of the wes hunger drain (aka, his belly lasts for 1 and a quarter day), it's painful, but honey isn't a hard to get item, and also fruits are sweet too, which aren't that hard to get as well

And that's pretty it, let me know your thoughts, i really do care about your opinions, because i want to make a mod for every rework concept i make, so every opinion is important! Anyways have a good day and see you soon!

I suggest spiders will come out to help if Webber is attacked near a spider den.

Specific monster tag for characters should be a thing

It has no sense for weeber and wurt to be ignored by their equals

I feel like half of these ideas are just overpowered, and the other half force Webber to only hang around other Webbers or spider dens. He's already got incentives for that - since he can plant traps to safely farm silk and meat, and walks at full speed on webs. I've already seen enough worlds overrun with spider-queens, without extra incentives.
