This runic tattoo grants you with the ability to possibly stave off death when you are injured. (You have advantage on 2 death saving throws every 24 hours.)
- Requires: 3oz in high quality ebony ink, 1oz of powdered cockroaches, 1500gp in powdered black opal, and 1oz of ground wittlewort. (Wittlewort is a herb with green gossamer-like fronds, which is found only in the spring in temperate, subtropical or tropical areas. Growing this will also deter slugs and other pests in your home.)
- Location: 3 square inches at the base of your skull.
- Warning: Possession of this runic tattoo causes you to have an almost detestable aura about you. (You have disadvantage on ALL charisma (performance & persuasion) ability checks.)
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.
