I definitely like the backstory flavor of these spellcasters being influenced by evil dragons. The counterspelling mastery seems fairly powerful at first glance, but given the limitations of this class (low number of spells known for instance) I don't think it will come into play all the time which is a balancing factor. I like that ability a lot since it seems well thought out.Have you ever looked at the psionics rules for 3.5? If not, they are available freely as part of the OGL. Just hop on down to <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/article/srd35" target="_blank">http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/article/srd35</a> and check it out. It seems like this class resembles the psion in a number of ways and you might benefit from adjusting those rules to your idea. It wouldn't be too hard to just let them learn spells instead of powers and then tack on your special abilities.The tattoo idea is pretty cool though. If you wish to stick with that I have a few suggestions. Don't make it so difficult to wear equipment. Simply allow them to cast by touching the tattoo, meaning they can do so as long as they aren't in full plate or something. I don't think it would break the game to give them invisibility. As limited as they are in their spells known it is a major opportunity cost to learn such a spell. I also think allowing metamagic to be used by taking nonlethal damage makes it too easy. I don't pretend to know why metamagic is unpopular in your campaigns, but it is one of the best things about 3e imho, as long as you eschew things that grant metamagic without increasing the level of the spell (like metamagic rods, divine metamagic, sudden metamagic feats, etc.). Maybe there is some other element in your campaigns responsible for the lack of metamagic. Do you have any other major house rules? They might be the culprit rather than metamagic itself.</blockquote>
