02-28-07, 01:07 PM Can a barbarian put tatoos on himself in the wilderness? If he can is there a check or can I just do it?

02-28-07, 02:47 PM Depends on what you want the tatoos for. If they're just tatoos for the sake of having them, then I'd say either just go for it or do a Craft (Artwork) check with a DC of 10 or so. If you don't have the inks on hand you'll have to do a Survival check (I'd say DC 13-15) to find the appropriate substances. It's honestly up to your DM though.

If you want any signifigance to your tatoos, I suppose I could throw together a Craft (Artwork) check list.

Tatoos: Only 1 tatoo may be applied to a creature at a time. Increase the DC by 2 if the tatoo artist is applying the tatoo to himself.

DC 15: Frightful Paint: +2 to Intimidate checks. Increase the DC by 4 for each additional +1 you wish to apply.

DC 15: Blending Paint: +2 to Hide checks for in a kind of terrian selected upon applying the paint. Increase the DC by 4 for each additional +1 you wish to apply.

DC 16: Scrollskin: Allows a creature to cast a spell of level 0 or 1 as though it were a scroll. Creatures unable to cast the spell inscribed must make the appropriate use magic device check to activate it. Increase the DC by 3 to increase the maximum spell level by 1.

I suppose I could think of more, but this should work if you want something special for your body paint.

02-28-07, 05:21 PM I saw a couple tattoo feats on the boards that let you get bonuses to various things. An example would be the toad, burn a use of rage and gain spell resistance for little while.

I dont know the thread there on but i have them on my computer if you want me to post them, just pm me or post ur request.
