At 5th level, whenever you take the attack action on your turn you can attack twice, instead of once.

Acidic Pain

Uncurable Poison

At 14th level, your attacks ignore 50% of temporary hit points (Rounded down). Also, while an enemy is under the poison effect of YOUR attacks, they cannot heal any amount of regular hit points. The poison effect doesn't have this feature. (Example: If you do 11 damage, 5 is going to hit the temporary hit points, and 6 is going to hit the normal hit points)

You realize that teamwork is going to get much farther, so you master in aiding your teammates in battle. You gain proficiency in the Medicine and Insight skills.

Healing Pain

At 14th level, while an enemy is poisoned by YOUR attacks, you and your teammates regenerate 1d4 health per turn (can stack with multiple enemies)

(Example: If an enemy is poisoned for 3 turns, you and your teammates each regenerate 1d4 every turn for 3 turns. If 3 enemies are poisoned for X turns - 3d4 for X turns)
