Message: <blockquote data-quote="Corwin" data-source="post: 69406" data-attributes="member: 1560">So what is it about the Monk's Tattoo that makes it worth 80,000 gp?For those unfamiliar, it adds 4 levels to a monk for the purposes of unarmed damage, AC bonus and movement only. Basically if slides you up the chart by four levels earlier than you would normally get them. No other benefits are gained (BAB, UAB, saves, etc.). It is permenant once applied. It is slotless. That's it.Basically, it provides: +1 damage*, +1 AC**, +10 movement***.*For monks of 1st to 11th level. At 12th to 15th level this bonus becomes +3. And 16th level and above, the monk gets nothing.**At 20th level, the monk no longer gets any benefit from the tattoo here.***Give or take. Some levels this is actually +20, but basically you are going up +10 at a time 4 levels faster than normal. Until 18th level, then nothing is gained at all.In theory, the tattoo is worth double base because it is 'slotless', but it's also not removable. So you can not trade it, sell it or give it to someone else. 80k seems way too high for what it does.I don't get it.</blockquote>
