This runic tattoo gives you resistance to poison, or immunity to poison if you already have resistance to it.
- Requires: 3oz in high quality golden ink, 1oz of powdered imp liver, 1500gp in powdered diamond, and 3 drops of Dog Milk. (Warning: The drug known as "Dog Milk" is a controlled substance, and subject to laws in most large cities. Ingesting only 4 drops of this distilled liquid drug will drop your WIS ability score by 4 for 1d4 hours, but also grants pain immunity for the same amount of time while in this euphoric state. While under the influence of this drug, you must also subtract 4 from any initiative rolls. Prolonged use of this drug will stain your lips blue. Dog Milk is distilled from the juices of ripplebark, a shelf-like fungus that looks like rotting flesh but is perfectly edible, although it tastes better if cooked properly.)
- Location: 6 square inches at the top of your spine
- Warning: possession of this tattoo will cause a constant tingling sensation in your fingertips and/or toes.
This is an arcane tattoo. It must be performed by an artificer who is skilled in the art of tattooing. It MUST have all ingredients in the exact amounts specified, and it must be located on a specific part of the body. It is a very painful process, and you must make a CON saving throw (DC is 25 - your character level) or you will suffer 1 point of exhaustion for 23 hours after the tattoo is complete. The effects of the tattoo will not be active until after you have taken a long rest. If you are a creature with excessive amounts of body hair, the hair must be shaved away from the tattoo location, and it will never grow back due to the arcane nature of the tattoo. (The same goes for creatures with scales.) Though the overall design of the tattoo isn't important, it must include the proper runic symbols and cover the required amount of skin in order to be affective. There will be a sparkle to the tattoo, depending on what gem material component was involved in the infusion. All components, of course, will be used in making the tattoo and will thereby be consumed. (Unless the artificer creating the tattoo is a friend, he will likely also need to be compensated for his or her work, and they tend to charge a lot.) Because of the nature of arcane tattoos, you can never have more than two, and never more than one in a specific area of the body.
