Master tattooists know how to capture the power of magic as well as ki, but the energy of ki is much faster to produce and a tattoo can be soaked with power in just an hour.Extra SkillsWhen you choose this archetype at level 3, you are proficient in tattoo artist tools.Ki tattoosAt 3rd level, the tattooed man gains the use of mystical symbols, which he has engraved directly on his flesh in the form of scarifications or tattoos.These tattoos pulsate with a light, clearly identifiable ki energy from the moment they are activated until the effect they produce ends. You learn how to use the power of 2 tattoos of your choice, from those described below, and each time you level up in this class you can replace a tattoo you know with another. When you reach certain levels in this class, you learn additional tattoos as shown in the table of known tattoos.These symbols contain a ki effect that is activated passively in response to an event that you determine at the time of the tattoo. You also learn to harness their power willfully at higher levels.Known TattoosMonk level Number of tatoos3rd               26th               311th             417th             5The following tattoos are available to you when learning a tattoo.

When you are surprised by an attack, your tattoo allows you to gain a combat turn as if you are not surprised.Resilience Tattoo (Passive)The ki in this tattoo gives you a resilience reminiscent of half-orcs. When you drop to 0 hit points, but aren't killed instantly, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You must complete a short or long rest before you can use this ability again.Empathetic tattoo (reaction)The ki in this tattoo helps to share the pain felt in response to an attack. Using your reaction to a melee attack, the creature that damaged you is negatively impacted by its attack. It must make a Constitution saving throw.

One ki point is required for each 10 points of damage caused (eg 2 points for 11 points of damage).Element absorption tattoo (reaction)The ki of this tattoo confers resistance to the elements reminiscent of a native of the primordial plane.
