NOTE: The idea for this paragon path came to me earlier today. I find it coincidental that the Adventurer's Vault 2 preview utilizes a similar mechanism.

Tattoo Warlock of Thay
"You want to see my tattoo? How about up close and personal?"

Prerequisites: Warlock; background of Thay

Your knowledge of Thay has allowed you to become friends with many of the Red Wizards of Thay. You have helped them in many cases and they have returned the favor. They have given you a powerful Tattoo, which binds a powerful spell to your body.

Tattoo Warlock of Thay Path Features

Tattoo Focus of Thay (11th Level): You pick a Tattoo from the list below and you gain the power listed with that tattoo and gain +2 to the related skill. Whenever you use the related skill, the Tattoo pulses.

Cat - Skill: Stealth, Power: Cat's Claws;
Dog - Skill: Athletics, Power: Dog's Bite;
Bear - Skill: Endurance, Power: Bear's Hug;
Snake - Skill: Thievery, Power: Snake's Venom;
Scorpion - Skill: Intimidate, Power: Scorpion's Sting;

Spider - Skill: Acrobatics, Power: Spider's Web.

Tattoo Action (11th Level): Whenever you use an action point to make another action, you can spend a healing surge. You do not gain healing but you regain the use of your Tattoo power.

Tattoo Majesty (16th Level): You may spend a healing surge once per day to allow you to use your Tattoo power as an At-Will power for that encounter only.

Changed Tattoo Majesty to only allow for spending one healing surge per day in this way.

Changed name of the Level 12 Utility power to "Tattoo Sacrifice" since having it named Tattoo Power would cause some confusion since I reference "your tattoo power" in some of the feats and other features.

Pretty cool concept... until you get to the feats. Some of the att's deal a bit more dmg that they really should and a few of the feats are very very powerful. Great work though. Keep it up.
