Flowing Rime Tattoo

Alter: While this tattoo is applied on your skin, you have a +1 bonus to the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes, which deal cold damage instead of the usual bludgeoning damage.

As a reaction when you hit a creature with your unarmed strike, you can force it to make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking an additional 1d4 cold damage and falling prone on a failed save, as powerful jets of ink burst forth from your tattoo. On a successful save, the creature takes half as damage and doesn’t fall prone.

Attunement: Yes
Materials/cost: 630gp
Placement: Legs

Produced by a special needle, this magic tattoo symbolizes an endless outpouring of fine ink.

This tattoo was very popular among villagers in the far south that repeatedly found themselves repelling attacks by vampires and werecreatures on their homes. The assailants’ resistance to traditional weapons proved especially problematic during these encounters. The tattoo’s mystical properties would eventually give the villagers the small edge they needed to keep the hostile creatures at bay and defend themselves. Of course, the tattoo initially had more practical applications, such as to help supplement a dwindling ink supply.
