splicer weapon tattoo

[Shadow Wyrm]

Do you think a magic tattoo creating a Splicers bio-weapon would be a good idea.

After all magic tattoo's can create weapons and biological constructs, why not a bio-melee weapon.

[drewkitty ~..~]

It would just look like said bio-weapon, but would be just a weapons simple of if made with magic powers a magic weapon tattoo.

I was thinking more MD without the magic additions.

The Splicers Bio-Weapons are actual living creatures. As such I would say its a qualified yes. Yes they could be made....but they natural MDC creatures, so this would be a Monster Tattoo, not a weapons tattoo. But with in that, I would say why not? Its a living being, its not supernatural, its not intelligent....so basically its the definition of 'can be made into a monster tattoo'. However the artist will need to know the creature, probably fairly well. How well is up to the GM since its never spelled out, but I would think that having access to the creature in question to study would be a good start.

I would have to agree with this as odd as it seems at first glance I don't see any reason the bio weapons or warmounts of splicers could not be summoned via a monster tattoo they do seem to meet all the requirements. And yes the real trick is finding somebody who can apply the tattoo who has seen one of these things in enough detail to both realize it is a living thing to make a tattoo out of in the first place and then be able to illustrate it.

Hm. Could a Conjurer create one then as well?

I don't think so conj I don't believe can summon MDC animals only SDC ones which would eliminate all the splicer bio weapons/armor/warmounts.

Is there anything explicitly forbidding MDC creatures? They'd all certainly fall into the 'over 50 hit points' range of PPE cost, The 'add PPE to make it an MDC material' part seems to refer just to objects/weapons so no mega-damage bullfrogs.

There is an implication of it being non-MDC though "animals have average statistics and hit points/SDC" and only giving HP-based PPE amounts.

Of course, there are things out there like the Land Ray which are SDC monsters but who have the power to make MDC force fields

A new tattoo category sounds like a good solution. Trying to call them monster tats or weapon tats is just not reasonable. A new category with some new tricks thrown in makes more sense.
