Tattoos?

Post by Bordeauxxx »

When you're creating a new character, there's a section where you choose hair colour, skin colour, etc. One of the choices is for tattoo colours and positions. I've never seen these used anywhere in the game, and wondered if I'd missed them. Does anyone know what they're for?

They are mearly "fluff" - something to give your character a more unic look.

They have no other value then aesthetic value (that I know of :D )

As far as I know, they are nothing like the tattoos in PS:T. ;)

the tattoos are for roleplaying reasons.
it's kind of showing the charecter personality.
i didn't like the tattoos, because i'm often using civilized charecters (wizards, clerics, bards...), and not barbarians and fighters... (in p&p i play a cleric, so i don't think a cleric of ehlonna needs a tattoo...) :)
