Shadowy Tactician's Tattoo

Alter: As an action, you can speak the tattoo’s command word to cause it to extend outwards from your legs where it slithers along the ground towards a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The creature must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is restrained until you move or take a bonus action to speak the tattoo’s command word again and release it.

At the start of each of its turns, the creature can use an action to make a DC 20 Strength check, breaking free and ending the restrained condition on a success. The tattoo then reappears on your skin.

Produced by a special needle, this magic tattoo represents the melding of shadows and ink.

This tattoo is commonly used by assassins or thieves to restrain their targets before signaling for their hidden allies to strike. It gained notoriety after a string of public assassinations throughout the countryside. At each assassination where a witness was lucky enough to survive, the target was visibly restrained by “shadows” as an assassin approached and mercilessly claimed their life.
