Way of Cursed Speech

There are those who are cursed at a young age through a special ritual that is hidden away from the public eye. As they grow they develop the ability to compel the world around them with their words. This is a very powerful technique but has it's drawbacks. People with cursed speech cannot easily control their words influence on the world. Because of this they often use short phrases with words that don't easily compel the world about them. These people normally limit their speech to names of places, people, plants, food, or anything that doesn't involve verbs, adverbs, adjectives, etc. Essentially limiting their speech to only nouns.

Words of Harm

3rd-level Curse Speech feature

Starting at 3rd level, You are able to control your speech in a way allowing your to harm enemies, help allies, and alter the world around you.

Word Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Words of Harm,

As an Action you can spend 1 ki point, choosing a creature within 60ft, that creature must make a Constitution saving throw against your Word Save DC
Speaking simple words of harm such as but not limited to "slash", "crush", "pierce" will do the basic damage type associated with the chosen word (piercing, slashing, bludgeoning).
On a failed save the creature takes 3 times your martial die in the chosen damage type. On a successful save both you and the creature take half damage

Accidentally speaking a compelling word to a creature will cause you to involuntarily use your action for this feature on the creature you are speaking to, if you are not speaking to anyone then it chooses a creature within range at random including you amongst the random creatures. If you do not have an action for this to happen it instead causes the effect to happen on you instead

 

Using this feature without ki points causes you to take the full damage that would normally be applied to another creature

Words of Aid

As an action, you can spend 1 ki point to speak to a creature within 30ft and grant a number of temporary hit points equal to a roll of your (Martial Arts die x 2) + your wisdom modifier. These temporary hit points disappear when affected by another form of temporary hit points or when 2 rounds have passed.

Voice of the Echoing paths

17th-level Way of Cursed Speech feature

You learn new words that normally would be too much for you to handle

From the words of harm feature you learn words similar to "die", "perish", and "death". You spend 5 ki points If you speak this to a creature with less than 100 hit points they die instantly. If they have over 100 hit points they make a wisdom saving throw. On a fail you instead deal damage equal to your words of harm feature but you treat the damage as a crit. If they succeed then they take the normal damage of the words of harm feature

From the words of assist feature you learn the words similar to "revive", "return", and "resurrect". You spend 10 ki points while within range of a creature that hasn't been dead for more than 2 months and if the creature's soul is free and willing, the creature is resurrected to half their max hit points and all curses, poisons, and ailments are removed. 

From the compelling words featured you learn the words similar to "plunge", "plummet", and "bury". You spend 10 ki points and your target/targets size large or smaller make a wisdom saving throw. On a failed save they are pushed through the earth beneath 100ft straight downward opening a 5ft wide hole in their target location that is 100ft deep (this works only if there is enough room beneath them and the ground beneath them can be destroyed by means of disintegrate). That creature takes fall damage equal to the distance they fell and if they are unable to fall they instead are knocked prone and take damage equal to the damage they would have fallen. If the creature is flying they are pulled from the sky and the same effect happens. On a success they are push into the ground 10ft and take that fall damage(this works only if there is enough room beneath them and the ground beneath them can be destroyed by means of disintegrate). You are also knocked prone in the event they succeed the saving throw.

 

Using any of these words without ki points makes the effect from the words similar to "die", "death", and "perish" happen to you
