Perhaps these can be altered over time so that the xp invested into the old tatoo partially pays for any new upgrades/replacements.Perhaps characters could receive a pool of 'rune points' each level (simiar to artificers craft points) to go towards the cost of such improvements.Also I think you should allow for characters to determine how much they actually specialise in earning the Partyn rune magic, some would be like the Master of the Partyn's and be very powerful magic users (i.e. advancing in spells known each level) while others might split there time between learning magic and other skills such as fighting (Better BAB and advance is spells known even other levels), this is also covered in the Elements of Magic sourcebook via their re-worked paladin, ranger and bard classses.Anywho that a just a few thoughts from me.</blockquote>
