[QUOTE="LeifVignirsson, post: 921134, member: 10833"] I think you missed the point I was trying to make to you on this overall regarding this class. 1) This is not your normal or typical magic using class. You are taking the magic stored in a magical item (known in this discussion as a tattoo). This is not like opening your book, picking at random and saying [i]"I cast white fluffly bunny death on you!"[/i], this is much like a magical weapon. 2) Magical tattoos ARE masterwork magical items, or they should be treated as such. Sure, some joe off of the street can etch or carve a design, but much like a masterwork weapon, they are not going to be able to produce the stability to use magic. 3) I hate to keep going back to it, it seems like I am a parrot on this one, but you really should look at the Merc's handbook before doing any tweaking. It is well designed and good for the game, but is a challenge for someone that looks for that in their games. I am not saying to you that it SHOULD be like AEG's, but everything is an off shoot of something else. I know you may burn with fury and anger seeing me chime in again, but this will help your class out. I would love to see a variant of the Tattoo Mage that I use and I am hoping that you can supply that for me... But it is not in this form, not at this moment and time. [/QUOTE]
