Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jesse Decker" data-source="post: 276554" data-attributes="member: 742">TattoosTattoos are a cool idea for dwarves, but there was only so much room in Hammer & Helm, and I felt it better to concentrate on new things that other books weren't likely to have (like exotic armor, spell-channeling feats, and other ideas) than things like tattoos that have been seen in a few other places. That's not to say that putting tattoos in would have been a bad thing; it's just that you've got to make choices about what to include.There's a cool Tattoo Magic feat on pages 189-190 in Lords of Darkness, and in Monte Cook's Book of Eldritch Might there's a feat called Etch Object Rune. Either one (or both together for that matter) could easily work with the spells and themes presented in Hammer & Helm. I'm sure I'm missing some other examples of d20 tattoo rules; heck, I wager that most of the numerous systems for Rune magic can also work as tattoos (even if the authors didn't intend that) without affecting game balance.-Jesse Decker</blockquote>
