[QUOTE="Shallown, post: 1895062, member: 1368"] I used magic tattoos in my last game and treated them as potions except they could be up to 5th level and the price was Spell level X Caster level X 37.5 gp. The price is basically half way between a potion and a scroll. I figured it was like a potion becuase anyone could use it but not as good as a potion since only the user could use them. They drew attacks of opportunity but didn't require a move equivalent to get out or ready. They also couldn't be taken away but could be dispelled if the person was targgeted with a dispel magic. That all sort of balanced out to that number and it worked well for me. Keeping them to the Potion rules as far as what type of spell they could hold kept it from being abused. I was never happy with any of the tattoo magic varients I read in several books. I came up with my own and ot worked though only one character used it much. later [/QUOTE]
