Cursed combatant

You come from a bloodline of warlocks and sorcerers, and when your powers did not awaken, you took up the way of the Monk to make up for it. This training eventually activated your powers, but they were unstable, giving you a shifting, corrosive mass of techniques.

6. Gambler's High
You can turn your Ferver into offensive attacks.
By spending 1 Ferver, you can launch a small grey pachinko ball forward, dealing 1d6 bludgeoning damage with a 40 Ft range. By spending more Ferver, you can increase the power of the ball; Every 2 extra points of Ferver increases the damage of the ball by 1d6 and the range of the ball by 5 Ft, up to a cap of 7 spent Ferver.

3. Slicing Exorcism
Piercing Blood and Supernova both gain 2d6 damage

Any creature inside the orb when it explodes is instantly killed if it has less than 150 HP.
[I recommend letting the Hollow Nuke damage allies, even if PvP isn't allowed at your table, so there's some risk to using it.]

When ready, you take 2d6 fire damage and launch the arrow forward, where after impacting an object or after traveling 75 Ft, it explodes in a 25x25 Ft cylinder, dealing 3d10 Fire damage to anyone within the blast radius, with no saving throw.
