Gauntlet of Spider Mastery

This glove is a filigree of Mithral spider webs. It was crafted in the underdark by drow craftswomen to control the numerous spiders that wander the underdark's caverns.

The wearer of this glove can use their action to take psychic control a number of spiders up to twice their proficiency modifier. A swarm of spiders count as one spider. The spiders must have an intelligence of 5 or less, a CR of one half of the wearer's level or less, and be within 60 feet.

If the wearer tries to control a spider with an Intelligence score of 6 or higher, then the wearer must make an Animal Handling ability check and the spider must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the wearer's Animal Handling check meets or exceeds the spider's Wisdom saving throw, then the wearer takes control of the spider. The spider may take a bonus action to make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw to break free from the wearer's control.

The spiders under the wearer's control make their own initiative and attack rolls. The spiders can be under the player or DM's control, at the DM's discretion, but follow the wearer's instructions while under the influence of the gauntlet.

The spiders do not need to be seen in order to be controlled. If the wearer becomes separated from a spider my more than 60 feet, then the spider is no longer under the wearer's control and reverts to the DM's control.

Additionally, the player can use a bonus action to determine how many spiders are within 60 feet of themself.
