Advantages & Disadvantages

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Advantages

• Grants a "free" attack each round in melee, assuming that the stinger is off cooldown.
• Paralyzed enemies are completely unable to attack or move, and are much easier to hit, allowing for easier victories or safer getaways.
• Synergizes extremely well with builds focused on making multiple attacks per round.
• Grants bonus reputation with arachnids, though not enough to make them neutral by default.

Disadvantages

• Prevents the player from wearing any back-slot equipment.
• Moderately expensive.
