IMO, yes, they can. There are no particularly limits, though I'd give them problems with anything that results in a carapace. Otherwise, the magic of the tattoo comes up to the top of their skin, no matter what its origin.

At this point, I'd think they'd wait till lvl 7 when they don't have to touch tattoos anymore to get carapace's

What bio-wizardry would you suggest for a T-Archer.

I can't see anything that jumps out at me. Thanks.

Another question.
Can t-men get modified by a Gene-Splicer or through eugenics without losing their magic?

Tattooed men can get any modifications anyone else can.

Why would you assume they could not?

well at zome point biowizardy makes you a sn creature making you no longer human, ogre or elf

so there is an arguement that past that point the tattos would stop working

HU powered heros can't get them for example
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, Bio Wizardy never makes you a supernatural creature: you can get MDC and supernatural strength but where did you get supernatural being from?

I reread the section--nowhere does it say you become a supernatural being no matter how many times you get dunked--you begin to mutate but that does not make you a supernatural being.

It's under activate of tattoos.

Yes, but that's because they're True Atlanteans. Most of the other t-men (Tattooed Men, T-maxi Men, and T-Monster Men) are not True Atlanteans, and are therefore vulnerable to bio-wizardry.

Dosn't mean they can't be biowizard modified. They can't be transformed that dosn't mean they can't be changed.

We've had this argument before. Suffice it to say, you are using definitions of these words that do not coincide with the rest of the English speaking world.

No, i'm stating that the terminology is being taken too littearlly, not that definitons are incorrect.

Topic drift is inevitable; it's not your fault. :bandit:

FWIW, the Gun Brothers in the Phase World Sourcebook employ both bio-wizardry and tattoo magic (although they are not true T-Men; those who use magic tattoos normally only have 3-6).
