Create magic tattoo creates a single magic tattoo. The caster determines the exact type of tattoo, though the selection of possible tattoos is limited by caster level. The caster of create magic tattoo must have a modicum of artistic talent to sketch the desired tattoo—at least one rank of Craft (drawing), Craft (painting), Craft (calligraphy), or a similar Craft skill. Inscribing a magic tattoo requires a Craft check. The DC varies with the kind of tattoo, as noted below.
A caster of 3rd to 6th level can inscribe the following tattoos (DC 10):
- +2 resistance bonus on one type of saving throw (Fortitude, Reflex, or Will).
- +1 luck bonus on attack rolls.
- +1 deflection bonus to AC.
A caster of 7th to 12th levels can inscribe the lower-level tattoos, plus the following (DC 15):
- +2 resistance bonus on all saving throws.
- +2 competence bonus on attack rolls.
- The ability to recall one cast 0-level, 1st-level, or 2nd-level spell (just as though the subject were using a pearl of power). The caster chooses the spell level.
A caster of 13th level or higher can inscribe all of the above tattoos plus the following (DC 20):
- Spell resistance of 10 + 1 per six caster levels.
- +2 enhancement bonus to any one ability score.
- +1 level of casting ability. This increases the subject’s effective level, but not the total number of spells. An 11th-level caster raised in casting ability in this manner casts spells as a 12th-level caster in terms of range, area, effect, and so on, but this tattoo does not provide any extra spells.
A single creature can have only three magic tattoos at a time. Once a creature has three magic tattoos operating, any additional magic tattoos fail.
A successful erase spell removes a single magic tattoo. A successful dispel magic spell can remove multiple magic tattoos if targeted on the creature bearing the tattoos (see the dispel magic spell in the Player’s Handbook).
Material Components: Tattoo inks in appropriate colors.
