can dragon juicers get magic tattoos/anyway to replicatethem
can dragon juicers get magic tattos or lord magi that have turned mdc or any of the other once human charecters that once get alterd through magic
it would seem no but then gun brothers from three galazies can become bioborgs and get tattoss with the right rolls
or in the alternative can you cast a tatto into a talisman or other object and use it like a tattoo

I remember days like this when my father took me to the forest and we ate wild blueberries. More than 20 years ago. I was just a boy of four or five. The leaves were so dark and green then. The grass smelled sweet with the spring wind...For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm.

No. Bioregenerating creatures should not be allowed Magic Tattoos.

Re: can dragon juicers get magic tattoos/anyway to replicatethem
I'd say no.
Human mutants and super powered beings can't get magic tattoos. I think a Dragon Juicer falls closer to the realm of super-powered than human.
It is a definite no to the tatto as a talisman thing - a tattoo isn't a spell. What you could do is make a Bio-Wizard weapon - something like a staff with a hand on the end that has the tattoo you want.

Re: can dragon juicers get magic tattoos/anyway to replicatethem
Yes they can. The magic tattoos are different than regular tattoos. If bio-regenerating creatures couldn't get them, then there wouldn't be chiang-ku dragons with them.

10 years........... for a Dragon Juicer....
D.Juicer lifespan is 5 years and 4D6 months, ancient dragon blood adds 6D6 months.... assuming maximum rolls (highly unlikely), you'd get 5 years plus 60 months, or 10 years total.
Chances are this NPC is dead.
ancient dragon blood board ruling is each application add 6d6 months and you can keep doind it
Slayer will be the oldest living dragon juicer at 14 years

Honestly how many dragon juicers are going to be getting ancient dragon blood not adult but 5k plus old
and have you ever thought about how unbalancing a tatto man is
powr tatto 75 mdc per level 40ppe
level 10 750 plua his standard mbc
he gets a monster tatto now he can have 1550 mdc so hardly that unblancing compaared to others

I suppose the ones who work for ancient dragons or have great contraband connections.
then they have to know a top level alchemist to refine it

You're right, strictly speaking, most dragon juicers will not have that kind of luck or opportunity; more often dragons would see them as a menace.. but there are always those exceptions to the general rule, typically that bias works for any player character in any game for any GM who is open to entertaining their ideas.
The big allure of the dragon juicer over the other varieties is the pipe dream of a greatly extended lifespan by comparison, with just as many losers and failures as any other O.C.C.
sure but it keeps a nice pregen NPC that has a part in y game alive besides so it nice to have a plausible reason
for him to not die
I also find the last call copletly avoidable if you can get cloned parts constantly it makes sense that if you body is bruning out and you replaced said parts you are fine
(mega juicers are the big exception along with the maxi killer since there reasons for death are mystical

You're going to replace the strained bloodvessels running through a character's brain (and everywhere else) via cloned body parts? Good luck.
not forever but other than the brain why not

But that's not actually the point. The point is that the Juicer class is one that is supposed to be doomed. Subverting that reality isn't about technological innovation or some form of ingenius progress in the overall process. Subverting it is about players who don't want to face the consequences of their choices.
why not make better augmentations
Shadowrun did a very fine job with that
To a lesser extent so does HU
One thing that gets me about augmentation is the price that is themed
by this point in development we should have abetter heart better lungs that can withstand the stress of bening a juicer IRMSS to heal all the little damage that happend by starining it

Re: can dragon juicers get magic tattoos/anyway to replicatethem
Oh, my error, but to answer the question then. Assuming they were human, they can get tattoos up to five before they become the juicer, and may still use them possibly. The sixth tattoo transforms them into something more than human, and bars them from using any other magic. Therefore, since being a dragon juicer is a magical process, it should prevent the dragon juice from working.
Re: can dragon juicers get magic tattoos/anyway to replicatethem
removed part about juiciers lifespan sorry for posting it here
under section 5 gives the juicier 2D4x10 PPE but stats thay cant learn
magic and cant use psionic powers so can thay access there PPE
to use a magic tattoo is a good question ?
and if a dragon juicier was a fallen cyberknight then he should under those rules loose his
psionic powers in the process to become the dragon juicier right ?

Re: can dragon juicers get magic tattoos/anyway to replicatethem
Personally, I would allow a Dragon Juicer to extend it by 6D6 months every time... but it would have to be fresh blood each time, and would require a year (at least) between treatments.

Re: can dragon juicers get magic tattoos/anyway to replicatethem
There is another thread somewhere just on the topic of extending dragon juicer lifespan I think, no need to repeat the arguements here.
Re: can dragon juicers get magic tattoos/anyway to replicatethem
I would say that the only way to significantly extend the life of a juicer is to do what it says in the books - become a 'borg.

Nothing in the rules that say they can't, but like you have said they are not really humans anymore. Personally I would not allow it.
