Path of Corruption

By taking in or being subjected to corruption you have gained a sort of power over it that allows you to use it to your will. Most would call this foolish and dangerous however ultimately it is up to you whether you conquer it or succumb to its dark whispers

This subclass is about applying debuffs and delayed tick damage. As well as giving you or your party buffs.

The nature of your corruption, its form and look can be decided by you and your dm. Whether it be shadows or some sort of flesh based disease or even a cures of living flames is up to your imagination and creativity 

This subclass introduces a new type of dmg called corruption dmg this dmg type is resisted by things that are not organic in nature(some examples being constructs elementals and spirits) and celestial entities are immune to it

corrupting strikes

At 3rd lvl you gain the ability to infuse corruption into your strikes, when making an unarmed strike you can spend 1ki points to apply a stack of corruption

When someone has 2 stack of corruption on them they get disadvantage to attacks made and -1 to stat based saving throws per stack.  

You can apply a maximum of 5 stacks per target 1 stack will decay and disappear at the end of there turn when a stack decays they take corruption dmg = to the monks level

Healing spells of radiant nature can be used to cleanse stacks faster and with no extra damage. Spells of 1-3 cleanse 1 stack 4-6 cleanses 2 stacks. And any spells of a higher lvl can completely cleans a creature of there stacks.

cognitive disruption

6th cognitive disruption:tapping into your ability to control corruption you gain the ability to exert your will onto those affected by your corruption. 

Upon a target with 3 or more stacks of corruption making an attack at the monk. The monk can impose a wisdom contest by spending 3 ki points whoever is higher wins. 

If the monk wins then they can redirect the attack to another creature within the attack's range or if there are none they can just have the attack miss.

The monk only uses 1ki point if they lose the wisdom check.  This ability only works in ether single target saving throw based attacks or roll to hit based attacks

They lose any spell casting and any non innate arcane magic their health is reduced to 8d6+monks con mod unless it was lower in which case it stays lower. 

They will listen to the monk's commands and during combat they take their turn directly after the monk.

The monk can have up to 3 corrupted creatures at a time or instead of corrupting a creature they can use this ability to apply a corrupted aspect to themselves or a willing target up to 3 times in total.   

You can replace a corrupted creature or aspect during a long rest once a day.   

You can see, hear and speak(if possible) through the creature and they are under your control and follow your command

 If a creature who you have given a corrupted aspect to is intelligent and doesn’t wish to follow your command then they can make an opposed Wisdom save against you to try and defi the command and may try again every hour they’ve been carrying the command out.
