Magical Tattoos

Magical Tattoos

Tattoo magic is an incredibly old form of magic, and is a form of art utilized by many different cultures across the multiverse. The designs and function of these tattoos varies wildly between peoples, races, species, countries, continents, and planes, from a lucky charm for sailors, to a mark for slaves.

Requirements

In order to create a tattoo, either mundane or magical, the artist must have proficiency with calligrapher’s tools, which are a type of artisan’s tools. In order to ink a magical tattoo onto a wearer, the artist must have proficiency with calligrapher’s tools and must be able to cast at least one spell.

The Artist’s Sketchbook

When an artist first gains proficiency with calligrapher’s tools, their teacher gives them a sketchbook containing designs for a number of Simple or Average tattoos equal to 5 + their Intelligence modifier.

Discovering new templates

Discover a new tattoo can be done either by copying them from someone’s body, from another artists sketchbook, or by spend a week of downtime doing research.
1 piece of lore = a small + simple design.
2 pieces of lore = a small + average, or a medium + simple design,
3 pieces of lore = a small + intricate, or a medium + average, or a large + simple design.
4 pieces of lore = a medium + intricate, or a large + average design.
5 pieces of lore = a large + intricate design.

Copying Check; Condition of Subject DC
Living, willing or unconscious; 5
Dead, for less than a week; 10
Living, unwilling or restrained; 15
Dead, for one week or more; 20
Dead, tattoo design is not intact; 25

The size and intricacy of tattoos will determine the amount of resources needed to copy the tattoo from a persons body or another artists sketchbook. An artist will need to spend 2 hours and 50 gp to copy a design into their sketchbook. This amount increases by 2 hours and gp for each size and intricacy level, to a maximum of 10 hours and 250 gp for a Large Ornate tattoo.

Applying a Tattoo

In order to apply a tattoo, there must first be room to draw it into the skin. Every tattoo has a size and location. The size of the tattoo scales with the size of the creature. Because of this, a Large chest tattoo would take up the same space on a human, a halfling, or a giant, as the size of the tattoo stays proportional to the size of the creature it is applied to. Characters are limited only by the amount of available space on their body.

Tattoos are either Small, Medium, or Large, and are either Simple, Average, or Intricate.

Tattooing Process

The requirements for each tattoo are different, but the general rule is that larger and more intricate tattoos require more time and ink to apply.

Time to Apply

Tattoos take time to apply based on their size and intricacy. After the tattoo is finished, you gain the effects of it after a long rest. Use the following table to determine how long the procedure will take.

Additional Information

Unless specifically noted under the tattoo description, any additional applications of the same tattoo will not confer additional magical effects. Magical tattoos dimly radiate magic under a detect magic spell. A successful DC 20 Arcana check may be made in order to discern the nature of a magical tattoo. Dispel magic will not nullify a tattoo’s magic, only suppress it for 1d4 rounds. Tattoos cease to function in the area of an anti-magic field.

hits them with a melee attack, the element erupts, dealing 2d8
damage to the attacker of the primary elemental type.

Slave’s / Owner’s Mark – (Anywhere, Small Simple)
This tattoo is meant to be applied to a slave in order to
prevent them from escaping, usually with a similar tattoo
applied to the owner. The small tattoo is a sort of brand, used
to keep slaves under control.
By touching both marks as an action, the wearer of an
Owner’s Mark may attune or unattune a Slave’s Mark to their
mark. Any number of Slave’s Marks may be attuned to one
Owner’s Mark, and any number of Owner’s Marks may be
attuned to a single Slave’s Mark.
Thereafter, as an action, the owner can activate their tattoo
and the twin mark on the slave begins to glow like a burning
coal, inflicting 1d4 fire damage per round onto its bearer. The
owner can stop this effect at any time using an action. This
damage will automatically stop and can no longer be activated
if the slave has 0 hitpoints. If the owner dies, or otherwise
loses their tattoo, and the slave’s mark is not attuned to any
other owners, the magic of the slave’s mark will instantly fade,
allowing them to handle the application of another tattoo.
