So I was looking at the Tattooed Sorcerer and was really liking the archetype when I noticed something odd.
Their 7th level ability. Now the ability to make a spell tattoo as a standard action is nothing to sneeze at. It is a balanced ability as there are some hefty restrictions on spell choice but then I noticed that the ability did not mention the creation cost. Looking at spell tattoos I see that they cost four times the cost of a normal scroll. This means that to use a class ability to create a limited and temporary spell tattoo of the highest level spell the sorcerer has access to at the time they gain this ability they have to burn 3200gp?
Pretty impressive for a single standard action.
Or am I missing something?
it's a special ability, and everything you need to know is in the description of the ability. there is nothing listed as a cost for creating the tattoo for this specific ability, therefore there is no cost other than a standard action and the amount of times a day you can do it.
it is not the 'Inscribe Magical Tattoo' feat, it is an ability in its own right, that may be similar, but works differently, as described under the archetype.
