Transcendent One
Tattoos
You can buy tattoos from Fell. They come in handy all the time, but some can cost you a fortune. Other than that they are very beneficial and make your characters more efficient in combat.
Tattoo of Accuracy:
This tattoo has two concentric rings with lines radiating from the center. When inscribed on the skin, the wearer's perceptions of distance and balance become heightened, giving their attacks greater accuracy.
THACO: +1
Tattoo of Action:
This tattoo gives the wearer's reflexes an additional edge, making him more difficult to hit.

Anarchist Tattoo:
This tattoo is created from the four symbols of the Revolutionary League. Wearing this openly is not a good idea. The Revolutionary League believes that all power structures should be overthrown, and they have devoted themselves to seeing that this occurs. They are the natural enemies of nearly all the other factions, and so they must move quickly when identified. The problem with this tattoo, of course, is that it immediately identifies its wearer as an Anarchist. Authority figures have a problem with this.
Invokes: "haste"

Usable only by Mages. This tattoo calls upon your experience within Ravel's Black-Barbed Maze, and it echoes the terrible sensation that flooded you when you called upon the power within the maze... and the Trigits answered in their own speech, something that impressed Ravel herself.

Tattoo of the Cutpurse:
Usable only by Thieves. This tattoo recognizes your mastery of the art of picking pockets, so much so that you may pick the pockets of anyone on the same plane as you - no matter where they are and whether you can even see them or not. Simply close your palm once per day, then open it, and it will be filled with a handful of coins. This ability goes just beyond picking pockets, however; when you invoke the tattoo's power, you gain an insight into the mind of the 'mark' from whom the coins were taken, giving you a small experience point bonus as well. When the Copper Blessing ability is used up, the tattoo vanishes.
Special: "copper blessing"
grants experience points when invoked
Tattoo of Death-In-Life:
Usable only by the Nameless One. This tattoo tells of how you saved Dimtree's life by granting him a second death.

This tattoo will only work three times before it fades from the skin.

Special: +1 to save vs. poison
+5% resistance to acid
Tattoo of Dreams of Es-Annon:
For some reason, the tale of the Crier of Es-Annon filled you with a strange nostalgia, which you have related to Fell. This tattoo draws upon both this nostalgia and the perseverance of the Criers of Es-Annon, granting you a boon to your health and your endurance. Artistically, this is some of Fell's best work: although this tattoo shows the barest image of Es-Annon that you heard from the Crier of Es-Annon, you can almost *feel* the great spiraling parks and avenues of light through this intricate symbol. This tattoo helps preserve the memory of the city and the dream of its people that its majesty might be remembered.

+2 to base hit points
Tattoo of Enduring:
This tattoo grants the wearer a slight bonus to health, making them more difficult to knock unconscious.

Tattoo of Ignus:
Usable only by the Nameless One. Having Ignus as a companion is allowing you to see flames and madness in a different... light. When this tattoo is worn, you may draw upon Ignus' fury to shrug off flame attacks and increase your Constitution, making your threshold of pain that much higher. Unfortunately, since Ignus' strength lies in his madness, your Wisdom is impaired when this tattoo is worn upon the skin and your susceptibility to magical attacks increases. This tattoo can only call upon its ability to protect the wearer from flames for a limited number of times. When the tattoo's power is exhausted, however, the Constitution bonus will remain.
Special Temporary: +15% resistance to fire
+15% resistance to magical fire

Tattoo of Justice's Eye:
This tattoo tells of your efforts to help Trist and depicts the arrest and trial of Byron Pikit.

Special: +1 to strength
Tattoo of Logik Cubed:
Usable only by the Nameless One. Some of Nordom's presence must be rubbing off on you, for this tattoo allows you to tap into his (mostly) ordered and logical mind for brief periods of time.

When its ability is used up, the tattoo disappears.
Special: temporary +3 to intelligence
temporary -3 to wisdom
Tattoo of the Lost Incarnation:
Usable only by the Nameless One. This tattoo came from the severed arm you found in the Dismembered Crypt. Apparently, this tattoo tells of the experiences of one of your past incarnations... the symbols and tales are unfamiliar to you, but it seems to tell of a time when you were lost and abandoned on the streets of the Hive, barely able to make a living robbing and stealing from others you encountered. The crimes the lost incarnation committed eventually drove him to seek shelter in the Weeping Stone catacombs, where he survived for almost a year. When worn, the tattoo seems to bring out a survival instinct in you, forcing your body to react to any damage you take and heal wounds faster. If you choose to tap into the tattoo's power, some of the memories of hiding beneath Sigil will return to you, giving you the benefit of the previous incarnation's experience. It can only do this once, but even after the tattoo is invoked, the increased regeneration rate will remain.
Special: grants experience points when invoked
increases regeneration rate when worn

This tattoo adds a slight bonus to the user's strength, making his physical attacks more damaging and allowing him to carry more weight.

Tattoo of Morte
Usable only by the Nameless One. For all Morte's faults, having him as a companion makes you seem more capable and not so much of a stranger to Sigil's streets. This tattoo reinforces that bond, giving you +1 to Charisma and, when invoked, it also lends you some of Morte's luck and his ability to shrug off anything that would otherwise cause him to stop talking (such as paralyzation or stunning). Unfortunately, it also gives the user a penalty for their Wisdom... which is not hard to understand, considering how little Morte has to spare. This tattoo can only call upon its luck ability a limited number of times. When the tattoo's power is exhausted, however, the Charisma bonus will remain.
Special Temporary: +1 save vs. paralyzation
+1 to luck
Special Equipped: +1 to charisma
-1 to wisdom
The Number of Ku'u Yin:
Not usable by Chaotic characters. This is a tattoo of a number, an intricate weaving of ink and flesh. It squirms when held, as if it sought out a host. It is the number of Ku'u Yin, a personal identifier that radiates Law. When applied, the tattoo works itself into the skin of its owner, protecting it against the depredations of strongly chaotic creatures. It cannot be used by someone of chaotic alignment.
Special: protection from chaotic creatures
Tattoo of Presence:
This tattoo gives the wearer an edge when interacting with others, giving them a higher presence and leadership ability.
Special: +1 to charisma
Tattoo of Ravel:
You have met a creature of legend, myth and mystery, and there are few who can claim to have met the night hag Ravel and NOT met some horrible fate. This tattoo tells of your encounter with the mythological figure; merely wearing it marks you as someone to be respected... and feared. In addition to the respect you now command, common terrors that would terrify a normal human being now slide off of you.
Special: +1 to charisma
immunity to panic
Tattoo of Ravel's Kiss:
Usable only by the Nameless One. Your lips have touched the night hag, Ravel, and there are few who have met her and lived, much less caused her to feel some emotion other than contempt and hatred. This tattoo is blood red, and reminds you of the blood that Ravel drew when your lips touched hers. It may not have been the wisest decision, but it took tremendous bravery and strength to kiss her. When inscribed on the skin, the tattoo steels the heart and body and helps the wearer throw off the effects of paralyzation, but at the same time, it dulls your intelligence and wisdom somewhat.
Special: -1 to wisdom
-1 to intelligence
+2 to strength
+2 to constitution
Razor Angel Ink:

Special: +2 to intelligence
Tattoo of Saving Grace:
Usable only by the Nameless One. Some of Fall-From-Grace's presence must be rubbing off on you, for this tattoo allows you to steady your thoughts and take events from a calm perspective, allowing you to gain more experience from your encounters. Furthermore, this tattoo helps calm the mind and allows you to control your impulsiveness, panic and harness your adrenaline rush to shrug off spells, paralyzation, and any other attacks that rely on chance to pierce your defenses.
Special: +1 to wisdom
+5 to lore skill
+1 to all saving throws
Tattoo of Sebastion's End:
This tattoo tells of your betrayal of Sebastion's intentions to Grosuk the abishai. This tattoo draws upon that experience, allowing you to enhance the barest trace of the abishai's evil gratitude and magnify it. When inscribed on the skin, this tattoo has the power to radiate heat away from the body. Much like the gratitude of any baatezu, this tattoo's power is limited. When its power is exhausted, it will vanish without a trace.
Invokes: "flamewalk"
Tattoo of the Sensates:
Usable only by Sensates. This tattoo allows the wearer to use the Sensates' sensory touch ability one additional time per day and also gives the wearer an "intuitive feel" for some items he encounters. This tattoo has a limited number of charges. When tattoo is depleted, it will crumble to dust.

Tattoo of Sensation:
Usable only by Sensates. This tattoo enhances the player's senses; as a side effect, the wearer can use their enhanced senses to pinpoint a target's vulnerable points and inflict more damage.

Special: +1 damage with all attacks
+5% damage from all physical attacks
Tattoo of the Shadows:
Usable only by Thieves. This tattoo recognizes your mastery of stealth, making you as a shadow against anything that seeks to harm you.

When the Shroud of Shadows ability is used up, the tattoo vanishes.
Invokes: "shrowd of shadows"
grants experience points when invoked
Tattoo of the Shattered Lock:
Usable only by Thieves. This tattoo recognizes your mastery of the art of opening locks, so much so that you may touch any lock once per day and open it *without* resorting to lockpicks. This ability goes beyond just opening the lock, however; when you invoke the tattoo's power, you gain an insight into the workings of the lock you open, giving you a small experience point bonus as well. When the Knock ability is used up, the tattoo vanishes.
Invokes: "knock"
grants experience points when invoked
Tattoo of Silent Coins:
Usable only by Thieves. This tattoo came from the severed arm you found in the Dismembered Crypt. Apparently, this tattoo tells of the experiences of one of your past incarnations... the symbols and tales are unfamiliar to you, but it seems to tell of a time when you lived as a thief on Sigil's streets, before being driven down into the catacombs because of your thieving nature. In activating the tattoo, some of the memories of living on Sigil's streets will return to you, giving you more experience. Furthermore, it will give you a permanent bonus to your pick pocket skill. Even when the tattoo is invoked and the experience has been gained, however, the tattoo and the pick pocket bonus will remain.
Special: grants experience points when invoked
grants permanent +3% pick pocket skill when invoked
+5% pick pocket skill bonus when worn
Tattoo of the Silver Tongue:
Usable only by the Nameless One. You have met a creature of legend, myth and mystery, and there are few who can claim to have met the night hag Ravel and NOT met some horrible fate. In addition, your skills of speech and presence actually stirred Ravel's heart, marking you as a master of flattery. Although merely wearing it heightens your natural Charisma, you may call upon its power to give you superhuman charisma a limited number of times. When the tattoo's charisma bonus ability is used up, the tattoo will remain.

Tattoo of Wasting Darkness:
Usable only by Thieves. This tattoo came from the severed arm you found in the Dismembered Crypt. Apparently, this tattoo tells of the experiences of one of your past incarnations... the symbols and tales are unfamiliar to you, but it seems to tell of a time when you were seeking shelter beneath the catacombs and were forced to live as a shadow might, hiding from detection by the Sigil authorities and trying to conceal yourself from the more dangerous inhabitants of the Weeping Stone catacombs. When worn, the tattoo makes concealing yourself easier; it allows you to shape the shadows around you like a cloak. This makes it harder for your enemies to hurt you when they see you and harder for you to find when you don't wish to be seen. It lends you a sinister appearance, however, which will cause many to shun you. If you choose to tap into the tattoo's power, some of the memories of hiding beneath Sigil will return to you, giving you the benefit of the previous incarnation's experience. It can only do this once, but even after the tattoo is invoked, the ability to shape shadows around you will remain.
Special: grants experience points when invoked
grants permanent +3% to stealth skill when invoked
+1 to armor class when worn
+5% stealth skill bonus when worn
Tattoo of the Weeping Stones:
Usable only by the Nameless One. This tattoo came from the severed arm you found in the Dismembered Crypt. Apparently, this tattoo tells of the experiences of one of your past incarnations... the symbols and tales are unfamiliar to you, but it seems to tell of a time when the catacombs beneath Sigil's streets were your second home. It tells of you travelling down into the tombs, living in darkness, and coming to learn the nature of why the stones beneath Sigil weep. When worn, the tattoo makes you more resilient to cold and hardens your body, giving your skin the texture and strength of the weeping stone walls. In so doing, however, it also gives you a hungry gaunt look, as if you are starving. If you choose to tap into the tattoo's power, some of the memories of living beneath Sigil will return to you, giving you the benefit of the previous incarnation's experience. It can only do this once, but even after the tattoo is invoked, the resistance to cold and the bonus to your armor class will remain.
Special: grants experience points when invoked
