[WP] You wake to sobbing. Looking over you see a giant 4 foot tall spider sobbing her eyes out in front of a mirror. "Hey, baby what's wrong?" She looks back at you, fear in her eyes. She gathers her nerve and says, "There's something I need to tell you."

[WP] You are a hero with a really crap power. The more ineffectual your gear, the more effective it is. So now you are fight aliens with a nerf gun and a balloon sword wearing nothing but your girlfriends lingerie. God you feel ridiculous.

[WP] You have had a pet tarantula for as long as you can remember. Rosy has always been there. As much as a tarantula can in any case. Nuclear apocalypse and everything mutates, including Rosy. Now 6 feet tall and 15 feet long, you are very glad that you were a good owner. She’s still a sweetheart.

[WP] As a dragon, you crave to fill your cavernous home with gold! Your hoard thus far is pitiful, but you do not see it fit to raze the local kingdoms. Instead, after a chance meeting with an adventurer, you decide to become one. The oracle you go to agrees to certify you under 3 "small" conditions

[WP] You are transported from your magic filled world to this strange plane called earth. There is little ambient magic and you never even paired with a master yet. As a familiar, all you want is to be useful, make your master smile, maybe find a chin to nuzzle up under. What’s a magic spider to do?
