Weathering Tattoo

Alter: As an action, you can speak the tattoo’s command word and empower your attacks for the next minute. For the duration, whenever you hit a creature with a weapon attack, it gains a cumulative -1 penalty to its AC. You can reduce the same creature’s AC up to five times. When the tattoo’s effect ends, so too does any penalty to AC it created. Once used, this property of the tattoo can’t be used again until you finish a short or long rest.

Produced by a special needle, this magic tattoo represents repeated strikes against one’s defenses.

The creator of this design credits an unruly bard as the sole inspiration. The bard known as Yuri, regularly resorted to ruthlessly berating and insulting both his allies and enemies (with musical accompaniment), to the point where they were unable to focus in battle. Some were even said to have broken down in tears, shedding their weapons along with their will to fight. One particularly perturbed survivor later sketched the tattoo, picturing the bard’s smug mug during the entire process.
