Additional Abilities
Tattooed Toolkit
A tattoo that requires a permanent bond must be attuned, but
does not count as one of the creature's three attuned items.
Kunai-Whip
Extending/Retracting Rope
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires permanent bond)
This 5 foot long piece of rope must be wrapped around your
bare arm while you attune to it. At the end of the process, the
rope sinks into your skin, becoming a black tattoo running
from your wrist to your shoulder.
If you use a bonus action to speak the command word, the
rope animates and emerges from your wrist, moving toward a
destination you choose. The end moves 10 feet on your turn
when you first command it and 10 feet at the start of each of
your turns until reaching its destination, up to its maximum
length of 100 feet, or until you tell it to stop. You can also tell
the rope to fasten itself securely to an object or to unfasten
itself, to knot or unknot itself, or to retract back into tattoo
form.
If knotted to a secure object, the rope can pull you towards
it at 10 feet per turn. If knotted to an object light enough that
you could move it, the rope can pull it towards you at 10 feet
per turn.
The rope has AC 20, 20 hit points and resistance to
bludgeoning damage. It regains 1 hit point every 5 minutes as
long as it has at least 1 hit point. If the rope drops to 0 hit
points, it is destroyed. If it is destroyed, your tattoo is
damaged and cannot be used until you complete a long rest.
Brace of Kunai
Weapons (daggers), rare (requires attunement)
An empty sheath for three kunai sized to fit around a forearm,
when attuned and worn 3 silver and black kunai tattoos
appear beneath their respective sheaths. These kunai can be
drawn like normal daggers, though they retain their stylised
appearance and disappear 6 seconds after leaving your
hands. The instant a kunai disappears, it reappears as a
tattoo in its sheath.
You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with
these magic weapons. If you throw a kunai, you can draw
another as part of the attack.
The kunai tattoos remain if the sheath is removed (but still
attuned) and can still be drawn. However if they are thrown
or dropped and disappear, they do not reappear until the
sheath is put back on.
Kunai-Whip
When you are attuned to both the Extending/Retracting Rope
and Brace of Kunai you learn a new command word.
Speaking this word with a kunai in the same hand as your
rope tattoo causes the end of the rope to tie itself through the
pommel ring of the kunai and extend 10 feet, becoming a
whip.
You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with
this magic weapon and the kunai.
The rope can extend or retract up to 15 feet per turn.
As you become more familiar with the parts of the Kunai-
Whip, one or more of the following abilities become available
to you:
Increased Reach. Your skill with the whipe allows you to
wield the whip with a longer section of rope. Your reach with
this whip is 15 feet.
Last Ditch Effort. If you fall or are pushed off a cliff or
other tall drop, you can use your reaction to speak the rope's
command word to wrap around a suitable object within 15
feet of you, arresting your fall.
Permanent Brace. Your body becomes so used to
reproducing kunai, you find that you can permanently attune
to the brace, causing it to sink into your skin. If you do this,
the brace tattoo shifts to hold 5 kunai instead of 3.
Clawed Whip. You can attach 3 kunai to the end of the
whip instead of 1. The clawed whip deals 3d4 slashing
damage.
Entangling Whip. You can use an action to speak the
rope's command word, making a melee attack roll against a
creature you can see within the whip's reach dealing damage
as normal. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving
throw (DC = 8 + your melee attack bonus with the whip) or
become restrained.
Perfect Blades. Over time, the kunai have shifted form
ever so slightly to fit perfectly in your hands and the edge
becomes even sharper. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and
damage rolls made with these magic weapons.
Suitable anchors for the rope
The DM may require Investigation or Perception
checks to spot suitable anchor points. The rope is
not intelligent and will wrap around whatever
object is chosen, even if it is not a secure anchor.
Utility Belt
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)
When you attune to this brightly coloured belt it sinks into
your skin, becoming a shimmering rainbow of shifting colour.
Seven hooks hang from the belt, each one glowing when you
come within 100 feet of the corresponding item from the
below list. Each of the items can be permanently added to
your belt with one hour of meditation.
Memory Stone
As an action, you can withdraw this violet statue of a brain
and press it to your forehead, causing it to sink through your
skull. For the next hour, every memory is stored with perfect
clarity. The tattoo will reappear on your skin after you
complete a long rest.
You can recall every memory you stored so long as the
tattoo is on your skin. If you use the stone again, it replaces
the memories with the new hour of memories.
3
 Domino Mask
This indigo mask can be withdrawn as an action. When you
place this item over the eyes of a living creature, your eyes
glaze over a solid indigo and you see what the creature sees,
even if they travel to a different plane of existence. You cannot
see with your own eyes until you use an action to cause the
effect to end and the mask to disappear. It will reappear on
your skin after you complete a long rest.
Handkerchief Window
This folded blue handkerchief can be withdrawn and placed
against a flat surface as an action. Unfolded, the handkerchief
covers a one foot square and renders the surface it is placed
on transparent to a depth of five feet, merging with the
surface in the process. It will reappear on your skin in 1d6+4
days.
Four-Leaf Clover
When you would roll a d20, you can choose for the result to
be a natural 20. Once you use this property, the tattoo of a
four-leaf clover vanishes. It will reappear on your skin in
1d20+20 days.
Perfect Key

rippling water. You can withdraw the key from your skin as an
action and use it to unlock any lock. Once you use the key it
disappears. It will reappear on your skin in d100 days.
Insatiable Flame
As an action, this pair of orange striking stones can be
withdrawn and used to start a magical fire that cannot be
extinguished. The fire spreads across flammable material at a
rate of 10 feet per round, consuming any thing it is burning in
two rounds. It continues to spread for one hour unless it runs
out of fuel or is dispelled. Any creature that starts the turn in
the fire or on fire takes 2d4 fire damage. Any creature
wearing or carrying flammable materials passing through the
fire must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or be set on
fire, taking 3d4 fire damage at the start of each turn.
The striking stones disintegrate once they are used. They
will reappear on your skin in 2d20 days.

As an action, this red heart can be withdrawn and crushed
against your chest. The heart liquifies and you are paralysed
for one hour, appearing to all inspection to be dead from a
stab wound to the heart. The tattoo will reappear on your
skin after you complete a long rest.

permanent from the moment it bonds to your skin, the
second requires attunement. Runes are plain black, gaining
colour when they are attuned.
