Mnemonic Vestment and Inscribe Spell Tattoo


Rules Questions


So i am again in my pursuit of finding rarely used feats and making them into something interesting.

Is there anything that prevents a sorcerer use Mnemonic Vestment with Spell Tattoo made with inscribe spell tattoo, other than GM decision that tattoo is not a "written source"?
I think it may be useful to put some non-everyday spells like Identify and Knock into tattoos and use with Mnemonic Vestment.

A spell tattoo is essentially a wearable scroll inscribed on flesh instead of on parchment or vellum.

If the wearer is a spontaneous caster, once per day she may use a spell slot to cast a spell from a written source (such as a scroll or spellbook) as if she knew that spell.

This should absolutely work. If a GM told me the tattoo wasn't a written source I'd look at him funny and show him the above rules text.


Nice, just thought there maybe something i am missing. Thanks!


Take that, page of spell knowledge!

I'd impose a limit to the number of such tattoos that could fit on exposed, readable areas of the body, but it'd be a pretty decent limit.


yes - it's a more expensive way to do a Page of Spell Knowledge for 1st or 2nd level spells (Knock being 2nd level). Spell Tattoo is 4* Scroll price...
Once you get to many spells and the vestment it balances out, but I'm not sure it's worth the tattoo price over spellbooks or scrolls.


Once you get to higher level spells, though, the tattoo is actually cheaper. A 9th-level page of spell knowledge is very expensive.

You can only use the Mneumonic Vestment once per day, though, and it takes up the body slot.

By which I mean to say there are pros and cons to either approach.
