Psionic Crawling Tattoo Question


Product Discussion


Since a Crawling Tattoo has a bonus on attack rolls equal to the wearer’s manifester level + his key ability modifier, what would a Soulknife use as his key ability for this?


Bump.

Liberty's Edge

The real answer is that it should not have been based on the wearer's manifester level and key ability modifier. Reason being that anyone can have a psionic tattoo, not just a manifester, so there won't always even be a ML.

That said, if you had to pick an ability score I would go with Wisdom since that's what the Gifted Blade archetype uses.

I would just overrule the whole bit about using the wearer's manifester capabilities and instead use the tattoos ML + the minimum score needed to manifest the power it's using. At best I'd let it be a case of use-the-higher, much like staves, but since the nearest standard item analog to tattoos is potions I'd probably leave it using the item's stats every time.


Good idea. Thanks!
