are as much a part of you as your
blood or tears. You have resistance
to poison damage and advantage on
all saves against the poisoned
condition. In addition, when you make
an unarmed attack on your turn, you
can spend 1 ki point to cause your
unarmed attacks to inflict 1d4
poison damage instead of the
normal amount of bludgeoning
damage until the beginning of your
next turn. While this effect is active,
you can use your Dexterity instead of
Strength for the attack and damage rolls
of your unarmed strikes, as long as you are
not wearing heavy armor.
This increasingly poisonous nature of your
body alienates you from others. Whenever
you have less than half your maximum hit
points, your skin takes on a sinister,
unhealthy looking pallor with hints of purple
or blue, giving you disadvantage on
Charisma (Persuasion) checks. This effect
ends immediately when you regain enough
hit points to have more than half or your
maximum hit points.
Advanced Ki Control
Starting at 11th level, you can spend
additional ki points to increase the level of
spells you cast with your Corrupted Ki
feature, provided the spell has an enhanced
effect at higher level (as create poison*
does). The spell’s level increases by 1 for
each additional ki point you spend. The
maximum number of ki points you can
spend in this way (including the base cost of
the spell and any additional ki points you
spend to increase its level) is equal to 1+
your proficiency bonus.

Also by writer Jeremy Forbing:

Do you lie awake dreaming of exhaustive deets on
which monsters lay eggs? Hungry mimics to live on
your fingers as carnivorous rings? Knights who train
to cheat at jousts and gamble on their own duels?
Halfling vampires who transform into aromatic
pipesmoke? Weird magic granted by praying at the
altar of a dead god? Tasha's Hideous Leftovers, a
blasphemous tome of D&D content rejected from
other publications, is here, catering to all your (oddly
specific) needs!
Crack open all 126 crinkled digital pages of this non-
ancient PDF, and behold not only the above
strangeness, but also such idiosyncratic player options
as: Barbarians who act like paladins! Paladins who act
like librarians! Librarians who act like rogues! Monks
who act like that character you loved in Game of
Thrones! Clerics who act like characters you weren't
sure you liked in Game of Thrones! Fighters who act
like obscure characters from other books that tied
into Game of Thrones! And variant class features for
characters who act like whatever bizarre ideas you've
had running around in your head!
Enlighten or devolve your game with Tasha's
Hideous Leftovers, written by Jeremy Forbing, Bryan
Holmes, and Cassandra MacDonald, and defiantly
