Steelskin Tattoo

Once this property has been activated, it can’t be used again until after you finish a short or long rest.

Produced by a special needle, this magic tattoo represents magically reinforced chains.

Many young adventurers gravitate to the life they believe adventuring will provide them, without the forethought to consider the hardships that litter one’s path to greatness. Thankfully, this tattoo helps would-be magicians feel safer as they take on their first few challenges, providing a great deal of protection so long as they can consistently dish out magical damage.
