Message: <blockquote data-quote="Witness" data-source="post: 991912" data-attributes="member: 1500">I think some of your changes have powered-up the class a little TOO much.  Complete Immunity to 1 type of energy is more appropriatte for a class that focuses purely on the elements as is the possibly massive AC bonus from the Tattoo of Armor. In addition, since the Tattoo of Armor is based on Int, the Adept only ever needs to have one good stat.  Add to that the fact that they continue to gain levels in their spellcaster class and the PrC is very powerful.  Too powerful.  IMHO, the class is supposed to be versatile not necessarily powerful;  With the right Tattoos, the Tattoo Adept is supposed to be able to do almost anything well, but is not the best at anyone thing.Also, the bonuses provided by Lesser should be equal to or less than those granted by feats.  In the case of Lesser Tattoos that grant abilities that are also granted by feats, the bonus of the Tattoo should never be more than the feat because of stacking.  Few feats can be acquired more than once because to do so would be overpowered.  Being able to acquire a Tattoo that grants a similar bonus as the feat and stacks with the feat is the same thing as being able to take the feat more than once, which is unbalancing.  Thus the bonuses provided by the Tattoo should never be more than that granted by the Tattoo.Afew things are also unclear, most obviously the Tattoo Craft feat. The wording is confusing so I'm not really sure how or what it is supposed to do.  I also have problems with the Rune of Power:  1st of all, this should include zero level spells.  Additionally, the big drawback of Rune Tattoos is supposed to be that all of them only directly affect the Tattoo Adept.  Limiting the Tattoo of Power to only non-offensive is still overpowering because of Power Tattoos for Summoning spells, illusion spells, and buffing spells which the Adept can cast on other people; unlike mine, your version places no limit on being able to affect others with the Adept's Tattoos, which makes the Tattoos better than normal spells since they are cast as spell-like abilities.</blockquote>
