[QUOTE="Zimri, post: 1523788, member: 15991"] 1. The tattooed monk and psionic tattoos both count as items that you must have for your class, so they're fine with the Vow of Poverty. Only in extremely rare cases (such as the Vassal of Bahamut, which gets magical platinum armor and the shared trove) does the Vow of Poverty prevent you from getting items needed for your character class. 2. The monk's entire body is considered to be one weapon for the purposes of imbuing it with the kensai's signature weapon. You would not need to imbue more than one part with an ability. The entire body would be enhanced. 3. Signature weapons would break the Vow of Poverty because they are an enchantment that is aplied to a manufactured weapon.

What about other magical tatoos say for example a tatooist wants to reward the monk with a magical tatoo with a permanent affect, basically a no slot permanent magic item. What about one use psionic tatoos would these fall under the same use as a potion of cure serious wounds which is allowed ? What about Kenasi signature weapons as a monk/Tatood monk ? How many natural weapons does a monk have. The Phb says that a monks unarmed attacks are treated as A natural weapon or A manufactured weapon which would indicate the whole body is 1 weapon regardless of how many parts are used The Kenasi PrC list the example of master Shen who and in the write up of signature weapon itself used 100 10 per fist. These seem to contradict each other. If I want to be able to use elbows knees, feat and forehead as part of my unarmed attacks do I need to imbue all of those or is there a flat cost for the whole body ? Do Kenasi signature weapons in this case a monks unarmed attacks break the vow of povery ? If a VoP character can use drink a potion of cure wounds what other one shot magic items can s/he use ?
