[QUOTE="Grant_Stoom, post: 1561182, member: 13658"] I couldn't really find the answer for this in the rules. But could I scribe a tattoo of say Vigor that had been "advanced" with more powerpoints? Without the advancement option a lot of the psychic warrior powers will be silly for scribing, but then again it doesn't seem right that you could jack up the power essentially for free either. (SRD) The text of the Scribe tattoo says that : SCRIBE TATTOO [ITEM CREATION] You can create psionic tattoos, which store powers within their designs. Prerequisite: Manifester level 3rd. Benefit: You can create a psionic tattoo of any power of 3rd level or lower that you know and that targets one or more creatures. Scribing a psionic tattoo takes one day. When you create a psionic tattoo, you set the manifester level. The manifester level must be sufficient to manifest the power in question and no higher than your own level. The base price of a psionic tattoo is its power level x its manifester level x 50 gp. To scribe a tattoo, you must spend 1/25 of this base price in XP and use up raw materials (special inks, masterwork needles, and so on) costing one-half of this base price. When you create a psionic tattoo, you make any choices that you would normally make when manifesting the power. When its wearer physically activates the tattoo, the wearer is the target of the power. Any psionic tattoo that stores a power with an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to the costs derived from the base price, you must pay the XP when creating the tattoo. *************** So is one of those "choices that you would normally make when manifesting the power" how much extra you pump into it?
