The Original Spider-Woman

Recently I found this article about the original Spider-Woman. I don't care if it was from an Electronic Company crossover, it's fantastic that the original Spider-Woman was an African American librarian. Looks like Web-Archivist isn't the first Spider-Librarian, and he's okay with that. With these stats you can add Valerie the Librarian to your 5e supers game.


Code Name: Spider-Woman
Real Name: Valerie
Medium Humanoid (Spider-Person), Neutral Good
Armor Class: 14 (Dexterity)
Hit Points: 100
Speed: 30 ft./ Climbing 30 ft/Swinging 45 ft
Challenge: 5 (1,800 XP)

Str 12 (+1) Dex 18 (+4) Con 14 (+2) Int 17 (+3) Wis 15 (+2) Cha 16 (+3)

Saving Throws: Dex +7, Wis +5
Skills: Acrobatics + 7, Advanced Technology +6, History +6, Insight +5, Stealth +7
Senses: passive Perception 12
Languages: English

Unique Traits
Evasion: Spider-Woman can dodge out of the way of area of effect spells and attacks. When subjected to one that allows her to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, she takes no damage  instead if she succeeds and only half if she fails.
Nimble Striker: Use Dexterity for Unarmed Attacks, rather than Strength
Web Shooters: The advanced tech devices allow Spider-Woman to do a variety of things, such as swinging and using Web. They use the Advanced Equipment rules on page 32 of Carbide City #2.

Actions
Mutliattack: Spider-Woman can make two unarmed strikes.
Unarmed Strike: Melee Weapon Attack +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., (one target), Hit: 8 (1d8+4) bludgeoning.
Reinforce:
Web (Recharge 6): This is treated as the Web spell (though it requires no verbal or spell components). This ability's save DC is 16.
