[QUOTE="NotActuallyTim, post: 6831391, member: 6804638"] [SIZE=4][I]Ink of the Heavens[/I][/SIZE] [WIP] [I]Legendary[/I] Requires Ki class feature These special inks are created by secret methods in well hidden sacred places. Each ink is used to create one specific type of tattoo, one type for each creature in the zodiac. Every tattoo has different benefits as follows: [I]Rat[/I] Those with the Rat tattoo gain the creatures' surprising flexibility. By spending 1 point of Ki, the wearer may squeeze themselves through a space as small as their head automatically, escape any bonds or chains or escape any grappling creature (or otherwise contort their body in strange ways). They may also spend 1 point of Ki to ignore one source of bludgeoning damage as a reaction. [I]Ox[/I] The Ox brings supernatural fortitude and discipline. 1 Ki point allows the wearer to ignore conditions of any kind for 1 minute, heal 1 point of exhaustion or repel one intrusion into their mind. [I]Tiger[/I] The Tiger gives both speed and strength. 1 Ki point gives the wearer advantage on an Initiative check or an additional 5 points of damage on all unarmed strikes made that turn. [I]Rabbit[/I] The Rabbit gives wisdom. 1 Ki point gives the wearer proficiency (advantage to those who have proficiency) in Insight and Perception for 1 minute. [I]Dragon[/I] The Dragon grants great power. The wearer must gain Ki points when they kill living creatures using their Monk abilities or Attacks. 1 Ki is gained per creature slain. However, the Dragon is dangerous in its' own right. Should the wearer gain more Ki than they can hold, their body turns on itself, and they begin taking 10d10 force damage each round until they spend their excess Ki. [I]Snake[/I] The Snake gives stealth and a lying tongue. 1 Ki point gives the wearer proficiency (advantage to those who have proficiency) in Stealth and Deception for 1 minute. [I]Horse [/I] The Horse gives unequaled speed. The wearer may spend 1 Ki point to gain the benefits of Step of The Wind for the next 10 minutes. The wearer may also spend 5 Ki points to cast [I]Phantom Steed[/I]. [I]Goat[/I] The Goat gives the power of prodigious digestion! The wearer may eat 30 pounds of food and gain 50 temporary hit points for doing so. Once they have done this, they must take a long rest before this power works again. [I] Monkey[/I] The Monkey gives its' own astounding mobility. The wearer may spend 1 Ki point to automatically balance on any horizontal surface, even water or clouds, and the ability to cling to walls and ceilings for 1 minute. [I] Rooster[/I] The Rooster grants consistency in all things. The wearer may spend 3 Ki points on any die their player has rolled to take the average result (rounded [B]down[/B]) instead of what they actually rolled. [I] Dog[/I] The Dog gives loyalty. The wearer may spend 1 Ki point per ally to prevent the wearers' action from causing harm to their allies, regardless of what the wearer does. [I]Pig [/I] The Pig gives amiability. The wearer may spend 1 Ki to gain proficiency (advantage to those who have proficiency) in Persuasion for 1 minute, and in addition, the wearer may cast [I]Calm Emotions[/I] when spending the Ki point.
