power arrows
Skull pierced with arrows.(death trance)
Duration: 15 min/L, or until cancled
PPE: 40. 50 if with wings
Makes four tattoo arrows
Effect: Imposes the effect of the "death trance" on any target that is hit and fails their save, for the duration of the tattoo, or till cancled.
The visual effect of being hit is that the arrow is impaling itself through the target's head or heart, staying there even if it had been a winged arrow.
The victim of the magic is only barely aware of their surrounding as like with the death trance spell.
If the arrows are winged, then they only return to the T-Archer if the target is missed, or the target saves vs magic.

The LM version of this tattoo the arrow has a thin band running from one side of the skill over the top to the other, connecting the two ends of the arrows. (i.e.: the skull looks like it is wearing a joke 'arrow through the head' headgear.
The effects are different in that the victim is fully aware during the full duration, even so, they still look dead to anyone examining them. (as per the death trance spell)

Damage/effect: as per nade type

Magic Tattoo nades

*magic tattoo is the effect pict (same as arrows) surrounded by half covered nades*
Each make four nades and have an effect radius of 5'.

[drewkitty ~..~]

Cat's Paw Tattoo (a animal or monster tattoo with the addition of a cat's paw neckless to the tattoo)
Duration: Doubled
PPE: doubled
This modification lets the tattoo user to experience what the tattoo would experience. This experiencing two places at once is mightily distracting. Having to focus more on one then the other. The side not focused on has -2 to all combat rolls, half as many attacks and -30% on all skills.

Elemental Tattoo: Ice Man
Appearance: icy figure standing with arms crossed
Cost: 40 (+10 per figure)

Upon activation of this power the user takes on the image of an "ice man" covered from head to toe ice-like coating. +1D8 damage from punches and kicks. Will not lose footing on icy surfaces, and impervious to cold. The user can also create ice "copies" of himself. When he does so, the copy is in the exact stance the user was in just moments before casting and in the exact location (the caster is "teleported" just a foot away). These clones have and M.D.C. of 5 per level and if the caster is standing still it will be visually hard to tell a copy from the real deal. This has a number of applications:

*The user can entangle someone and then create a copy...leave it there with the victim securely held.
*The user can block a sliding door with a copy to hold it open.
*The user can "copy dodge" (+3 dodge) and let the duplicate take the damage.

This power can get very draining very quick.

Anti-Magic Cloud Tattoo
(A Cloud with a Broken Lightning Bolt in the center)
PPE Cost : 100
Range 300 Feet radius, +10ft per lvl.
Duration : 5 Minutes per level.
Saving Throw : Standard
Effect : Works like the Spell itself. Only the Tattoo user can continue using Magic or Magic Tattooes while inside the cloud. This tattoo is devestating in battle against the supernatural or creatures of magic.

We invented this Tattoo in our Tattoo Man game a few years back, which was fun.

Maybe if you put things in the standard format......So far you have the below (put into standard format)

Flaming Net
[basically you can stop a enemy in it's track & burn]
Range: 30 per Level
Duration: 1d12 (¿ time unit ?)
Damage: 1d12 MD/ND
PPE: 230

So what I see needed by this proposed M.T. would be a full Descriptive Text, and how long it lasts (what time units), and is the Damage per APM, per melee, per min.?
Basically what I'm trying to get from you is something that is Finished. Sit down and think about it.

Critique: sounds like a neat tattoo but the PPE cost looks to be a bit high. Unless the Time unit is in hours.

Hey everybody! Uncle Remus here with a little something from the vaults for your consideration. Whaddayathink?

Beast Within
Appearance: Rips in the Tattoo Man's skin with claws that give the appearance of some creature tearing its way out. Tattoo may include a glowing eye or two, a hint of fangs or any other little details desired, but the overall effect must be that of some unseen creature ripping through the T-Man's skin.
PPE Cost: 200
Range: Self
Duration: 4 melees/lvl
Saving throw: None
Effect: Activation of this tattoo causes an effect similar to the Monster Shaping tattoos (Rifts South America 1 pg 101 & Book of Magic pg 233) except rather than summoning an ectoplasmic armor around the T-Man, his body actually takes on the shape of some horrific nightmare creature. The exact appearance of the creature varies widely between individuals, from hairy werewolf-like monstrosities to rampaging lizard beasts, fanged demonic horrors and literally anything you can imagine, but the basic abilities between them all are identical.
The transformation grants the following powers; +10 to PS, +5 to PP, +100 S/MDC, an additional +2 to Strike and Parry, +4 to Dodge and Initiative, 1 additional attack per melee and the T-Man gains claw attacks (3d6 dmg+PS bonus) and bite attacks (2d6 damage). The beast form also gives the T-Man enhanced senses for the duration of the spell, including Nightvision out to 60 feet, enhanced sense of smell that allows him to track by scent at 70% proficiency (90% if it's a blood scent), and acute hearing that grants the combat bonuses above and allows him to parry attacks hand to hand attacks from the rear (can still be shot in the back)
Now the bad news. The T-Man's other tattoos cannot be used while transformed unless they have already been activated beforehand. for example The T-Man has this tattoo plus an animal (a lion), a simple weapon (battle axe), and a power tattoo (death touch). The T-Man summons his axe for his first attack, brings up his lion for his second attack and then activates Beast Within. While Beast Within is active he can still wield the axe and command his lion, but he will not be able to activate his Death Touch power tattoo until the duration for the Beast Within expires or is cancelled. If he activates Death touch before the Beast Within, he can use that power while in the transformed state.

Is ther any Tattoos that give telekinesis powers?

[abe]

dragon tounge-basically you can breath fire!
ppe-239
duration-once per hour for 1d6 hours
range-sight

[drewkitty ~..~]

dragon tounge-basically you can breath fire!
ppe-239
duration-once per hour for 1d6 hours
range-sight

I would make it so they can have two breath attacks during a 30 sec period. (<---duration)
And limit their ability to use the tat to once ever 1d6 hours. (<---limitation)
I would also have it to be a grinning dragon's head. Or a dragon head spewing's breath attack
and the type of breath attack is the same of the dragon head depicted.
Range: would also be limited by what dragon head is depicted by the tat.
Giving them a LoS range can be so easily abused.

Another idea would for them to gets +1 breath attack for every 5 levels gained after they get the tat. with an upper limit of 4 breath attacks total in the 30 sec duration.

Not to my knowledge, why don't give it a go at making one up?

I have never posted anything I have some up with on the boards here before, but here goes . . .


Magic Weapon Tattoos

Weapon Smashing or Impaling a Yin Yang Symbol (Anti-CHI)
PPE to activate: 10, 20 if combined with the wing feature.
Duration: 15 minutes per level of experience or until canceled.
Powers: This weapon inflicts no physical damage. Instead, it inflicts damage to the target's CHI base (Positive or Negative CHI, it makes no difference, however the CHI base can only be reduce to Zero, this weapon cannot be used to add CHI of the opposite polarity).
Damage is equal to the SDC normal damage for that weapon, except this amount is subtracted from the victim's CHI. For example; a tattoo of a sword which would normally inflict 2D6 SDC would instead take 2D6 CHI from its victim. The attack can be parried or dodged as usual or a saving throw vs. magic at 14 or higher is possible against successful strikes.
Cannot be combined with the dripping blood or covered in flame, tattoo effects. Only affects living creatures.
The weapon can also inflict damage equal to its SDC damage as SDC or MD to defenses composed entirely of CHI energy, such as Hardened Chi. This does not include physical matter which has been strengthened through the use of CHI, like items empowered by the Fill Object with Chi ability.

Weapon Impaling a Mirror (Twin Weapons)
Additional PPE to Activate the twin weapons feature: Identical to the original weapon cost.
Duration: Fifteen minutes per level of experience or until cancelled.
Power: When this tattoo is activated the T-Man gains a second identical weapon of the exact same type he currently has. Can only be applied to one-handed melee weapons, not two-handed weapons or bows & crossbows, etc. Activating the Twin Weapons feature does count towards the limit of 6 active tattoos.

Power Weapon Tattoos (New Category)

Weapon Covered in Coiled Lightning
PPE to Activate: 25
Duration: 5 minutes per level of experience or until cancelled
Power: The weapon, whether it be a dagger, sword, club, axe or whatever, inflicts 3D6 mega-damage plus an additional +1D6 at levels 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, & 14. The weapon otherwise functions in a manner similar to Magic Weapon Tattoos (Indestructible, etc.), however its appearance is slightly altered, it is a metallic blue in colour, and seems almost crackling or pulsating with power or energy. This weapon can have the "Wings" feature added to it, however Bows, Crossbows, and other ranged weapons are NOT included as part of this tattoo (however a Bundle of Arrows can be made from this tattoo). This Tattoo can only be selected in place of a Power Tattoo, and not as a Magic Weapon Tattoo.

Power Tattoos

Animal Skull with Glowing Eyes
PPE to activate: 30
Duration: 15 minutes per level of experience or until dismissed.
Power: This Tattoo allows the T-Man to summon and control 1D4 animals per level of experience of the same type as the animal skull in the Tattoo (Provided those animals are within 200 foot radius, +100 feet per level of experience). The Animals will treat the T-Man as their leader, not just their master, and will do anything for him, as well as understand him (not necessarily his words, but his intent), but simple instructions only, they are unable to follow complicated instructions. If they are instructed to take an action that will endanger their lives, and/or the lives of their young (if they are of a species that protects their young) then they get a standard save vs. magic, if they save, they will not obey the order, but will still respond to other commands. The types of animals available are the same as are available for the Animal Tattoos and the same restrictions also apply. Only one type of animal may be selected for the tattoo.
Note: Like the different Animal Tattoos that are available, Different Animal Skulls with Glowing Eyes are considered different Tattoos and do not fall under the restriction for having more than one tattoo of a given type. Each Tattoo must depict a different animal skull for this to apply.

Monster Skull with Glowing Eyes
PPE to activate: 75
Duration: 5 minutes per level of experience or until dismissed.
Power: This Tattoo allows the T-Man to summon and control 1D4 Monsters at level one (plus an additional 1D4 at levels 4, 8, & 12) of the same type as the Monster skull in the Tattoo (Provided those Monsters are within a 100 foot radius, +50 feet per level of experience). The Monsters will treat the T-Man as their leader, not just their master, and will do anything for him, as well as understand him (not necessarily his words, but his intent), but simple instructions only, they are unable to follow complicated instructions. If they are instructed to take an action that will endanger their lives, and/or the lives of their young (if they are of a species that protects their young) then they get a standard save vs. magic, if they save, they will not obey the order, but will still respond to other commands. The types of Monsters available are the same as are available for the Monster Tattoos and the same restrictions also apply. Only one type of monster may be selected for the tattoo.

Nice new magic tats.
However, with the Weapon Covered in Coiled Lightning. You should state what sort of damage the extra damage does. From the title I would infer that the damage is magic lighting/electricity. But this is not stated in the text of the power.

[13eowulf]

There was no intended type of damage, a weapon covered in flames does mega damage but is not fire damage, this was meant to be the next level, a weapon where the damage increases with character level (mainly resulting from complaints about magic tattoo weapons from players in my RL group), but still only doing magical mega-damage, similar I guess to Skorblades, or Chrysteel weapons . . .

[Ectoplasmic Bidet]

I was bored Sunday afternoon and flipping through Rifter 61. The new Atlantean tattoos caught my eye and got me thinking. The Atlanteans are touted as great dimensional explorers, but they really don't have any innate dimension spanning powers beyond spell magic and the use of their pyramids. Additionally, the Chiang-Ku, the originators of tattoo magic, unlike many of their dragon kin, lack the ability to teleport within a dimension without resorting to spell magic. From that, I came up with the first tattoo below. Dunno why, I haven't played in years and years, but like I said, I was bored. The other tattoos just kinda grew from there. The bottom two are revised versions of tattoos that appeared in Rifter 52.

Stone Pyramid Crackling With Energy(Dimensional Powers)
PPE to Activate: 200
Duration: One melee round(15 seconds) per level of experience. If either the Close Rift, Dimensional Teleport, or Teleport: Superior power is used, the tattoo's duration is ended.
Power: Manipulate dimensional energies to achieve the following effects:
-Teleport: Lesser: Same as the spell, useable once per melee round.
-Mystic Portal: Same as the spell, useable once per minute.
-Teleport: Superior: Same as the spell, useable once per activation of the tattoo. Teleportation is always 100% accurate; user either arrives at the desired destination or the magic fails to function due to a what would have been an error.
-Close Rift: Same as the spell, useable once per activation of the tattoo. Unlike the Close Rift spell, the user of this tattoo does not permanently sacrifice a portion of their PPE.
-Dimensional Teleport: Same as the spell, useable once per activation of the tattoo. If the destination is a stone pyramid the user of the tattoo is familiar with, they gain a +30% chance of successfully teleporting.
Availability: Very common among Atlanteans and Chiang-Ku dragons. Known to the Splugorth, but given rarely and only to the most trusted Maxi-Men.

Dimensional Rift Trapped Within an Hourglass(Temporal & Dimensional Magic Boost)
PPE to Activate: 60
Duration: Five minutes per level of experience.
Power: Activating this tattoo enhances temporal and dimensional(teleportation, space warping, etc) magic cast by the user. At the spellcaster's discretion, one of these effects can be applied to such magics: increase range by 100%, increase area of effect by 50%, increase duration by 100%, or increase spell strength by +1. Additionally, the user gains the following temporal and dimensional sensory powers:
-See Dimensional/Temporal Anomaly: Same as the spells.
-Sense Dimensional/Temporal Anomaly: Same as the spells.
Availability: Known to the Atlanteans, Chiang-Ku, and Splugorth, but its use is uncommon among all three factions. Most often used by Atlantean temporal wizards and shifters.

Fist Grasping a Stone Globe(Stone Master Powers)
PPE to Activate: 30
Duration: Five minutes per level of experience.
Power: The tattoo user gains the Stone Master abilities of Mold Stone, Push Stone, Carry Stone, Move Stone Mentally, and Levitation & Telekinesis of Stone. All powers are at an effective level equal to one half the user's level of experience[i.e. 8th level Undead Slayer would use the powers at 4th level]. Additionally, all powers inherent in magical Stone Pyramids that are normally only accessible to a Stone Master become available to the user of the tattoo for its duration and they gain a +20% bonus to their Operate Dimensional Pyramids skill, if they know it. Stone Masters who use this tattoo find that all of their powers over stone, but not those associated with gem magic, are doubled in strength.
Availability: Known to the Atlanteans, Chiang-Ku, and Splugorth, but only common among Atlanteans. Atlantean Stone Masters almost invariably have this tattoo.

Rune of Magic Within a Golden Six Pointed Star(Circle of Protection vs Magic)
PPE to Activate: 50
Duration: One hour per level of experience.
Power: Activating this tattoo engraves an indestructible circle of protection into the ground at the user's feet. It has a maximum radius of 5ft, plus 1ft per level of the user's experience and behaves identically to the Protection From Magic: Superior circle of protection used by Summoners. The user and up to one other person per three levels of experience is granted protection against magic; +6 vs all types of spell magic, elemental magic, necromancy, etc. This bonus is reduced to +3 vs the magic of gods, demon lords, and alien intelligences.
Availability: Known to the Atlanteans, Chiang-Ku, and Splugorth. Most common among Atlanteans and Chiang-Ku dragons, with relatively few Splugorth minions having access to it.

Bloody Chains Encircling Twisted Demon & Deevil Runes(Circle of Protection vs Demons & Deevils)
PPE to Activate: 35
Duration: One hour per level of experience.
Power: Activating this tattoo engraves an indestructible circle of protection into the ground at the user's feet. It has a maximum radius of 5ft, plus 1ft per level of the user's experience and behaves identically to the Protection From Demons & Protection From Deevils circles of protection used by Summoners. The user and up to one other person per three levels of experience is granted protection against demons & deevils. All lesser demons & deevils, including sub-demons such as brodkil and the various species of gargoyles, cannot come within 10ft of the circle's edge. Greater beings(Baalrogs, Archfiends, etc) can approach the circle without restriction and are allowed a save vs circle magic to attempt to enter it, but suffer the standard penalties if they choose to do so. Those protected by the circle gain a +5 bonus vs any magic or psionics used against them by demons or deevils.
Note: The circle's magical strength initially requires a save of 16+ vs magic to breach by those beings able to make the attempt. This strength increases by +1 at 7th level and again at 14th.
Availability: Common among the Atlanteans, Chiang-Ku, and Splugorth.

Silver Cross Within a Golden Sun(Circle of Protection vs Undead)

Duration: One hour per level of experience.
Power: Activating this tattoo engraves an indestructible circle of protection into the ground at the user's feet.

The user and up to one other person per three levels of experience is granted protection against vampires, zombies, mummies, and all other forms of undead, which are incapable of entering the circle. Those protected by the circle gain a +5 bonus vs any magic or psionics used against them by undead, plus they are immune to the mind control/calling powers of vampires or similar undead, and +5 vs horror factor.
Note: The circle's magical strength initially requires a save of 16+ vs magic to breach by those beings able to make the attempt. This strength increases by +1 at 7th level and again at 14th.

Rune of Magic Within an Energy Bubble(Resist Anti-Magic Effects)
PPE to Activate: 70
Duration: One minute per level of experience.
Power: Activating this tattoo creates an invisible barrier that surrounds the user, blocking spells and effects that would prevent or dampen the effects of magic, such as the Anti-Magic Cloud spell or the Mystic Drain ward. The barrier has a maximum radius of 5ft per level of the user's experience and functions without fail if activated before entering the area affected by magic draining effects. If activated from within such effects, the tattoo user must make a save vs magic against the spell or circle strength of the opposing caster to determine if the tattoo functions. Additionally, the perimeter of the bubble is impermeable to targeted anti-magic effects, such as the Negate Magic and Dispel Magic Barriers spells, but presents no other impediment. The resistance conferred by the barrier is indiscriminant and will benefit anyone within its radius of effect, enemy or ally alike.

Okay, this was from my Good Splugorth setting:

*Therapeutic Tattoos

“Skin cancer---what a bastard....I almost died of it....After I got treated, I laid out some money to get myself a Sunblocker ‘too...now when I’m working out in the open, I can touch the thing and it protects me against any sort of solar radiation up to a nuclear fusion airburst. No need to worry about comparing SPFs ever again.”

The GS have worked on ways to make the process of receiving magic tattoos less painful and have been experimenting with therapeutic tattoos...working in conjunction with Chinese chi-paths to moderate health and control both metabolic and mental problems...Magic Tattoos may offer a way around or to block the effects of some curses and magical illnesses...The most fanatic of subscribers to this form of medicine are the T-Men, who swear by the mystic tattooists as modern day Asians might swear by their accupuncturists.

*Slash Mark or X over Cigarette/Drug Ampule/Liquor Glass/Water Pipe (Adiction Suppression Tattoo)
PPE to activate: 1,
Duration: Effects last 2 hours
Effects: This is a therapeutic Tattoo applied in extreme cases of drug addiction, and used in conjunction with therapy. Touching the Tattoo will suppress a body’s cravings for a fix, and alleviate the worst of withdrawal pains. This gives the person a +15% to efforts to kick a drug addiction. Note, however, that the tattoo must be VOLUNTARILY activated by the recipient; it is not a cure-all. It also used as part of an ongoing program to wean the recipient off the substance dependancy, and not serve as a crutch unto itself.
The Suppression Tattoo appears as a red circle with a slash mark or red ‘x’ , sometimes with a symbolic depiction of the substance being guarded against inside the circle.

*Cloud Blocking Rayed Sun( SunBlock Tattoo)
Duration: Effects last 4 hours
PPE to activate: 1
Effects: This tattoo, of a stylized cloud blocking a radiant sun, acts to protect against sunburn and even protects against flashburns, so beings with sensitive skin can walk freely in broad daylight without fear of sunburn or attendant risk of skin cancer. Under its effects, a person does NOT tan, but acquires a slightly duskier skin coloration while the Tattoo is active. NOr does it protect the eyes(sunglasses or other eye protection is recommended). Very popular with outdoors workers, albinos, and desert tourists.
Note: Supernatural beings susceptible to sunlight., such as vampires, CANNOT acquire this tattoo.

Barrier of Ambivalence (Five Pointed Star with a -_- on it)
Activation: Whatever
Duration: What do you care, really?
Effects: Not like I bothered to come up with anything for real, but it makes the user immune to damage, magic, psioncs, cosmic stuff, radiation and GM rulings. The problem being you don't care enough to take action. More than likely you'll just sit there, maybe take a nap, pick your fingernails (but not to any real effect), etc.

If you want to take an action, roll 1d6.
1 = do nothing, just stand there
2 = perform some kind of non-combat, hobby type action (usually a bad habit like cigs or drinking)
3 = sigh and walk in a slow circle, stretch a little
4 = check your phone, shrug and put it away no matter if there are notifications or not.
5 = take a nap
6 = take action (see next table)

Roll 1d6, then roll again, on a 1 the action is always counter productive, 6 is always beneficial to the situation, 2-5 is player's choice
1 & 2 = Action is toward yourself
3 & 4 = Action is toward an enemy
5 & 6 = Action is toward an ally
