Scribe Tattoo
( Psionics Handbook 3.0, p. 51)[Item Creation, Psionic]
You can create psionic tattoos, also called psionic circuits, which store psionic powers within their designs (see Chapter 7: Psionic Items for rules on psionic tattoos).
Prerequisite
Manifester leveI3rd+,
Benefit
You can create a psionic tattoo of any psionic power of 3rd level or lower that you know and that targets a creature or creatures (see Special, below). Scribing a psionic tattoo takes one day. When you create a psionic tattoo, you set the manifester level The manifester level must be sufficient to manifest the power in question and no higher than your own level The base price of a psionic tattoo is its power level x its manifester level x 50 gp (inscribing a 0-level power costs 25 gp). To scribe a tattoo, you must spend 1/25 of this base price in XP and use up raw materials (special inks, masterwork needles, and so on) costing half of this base price. When you create a psionic tattoo, you make any choices that you would normally make when manifesting the power. When its wearer physically activates the tattoo, the wearer is the target of the power. Any psionic tattoo that stores a power with an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to the costs derived from the base price, you must pay the XP when creating the tattoo.
Special
All Psychometabolism powers are an exception to the target criteria, and may be scribed into a tattoo despite the fact that they are personal powers.
