Tattoo Tech guide, or: how to make Planar Binding look like a small skirmishing group

 I've detailed what Tattoo Tech is in my tech glossary post . However, I thought it'd be good to talk about how game-breaking this tech really can be by rating a few options which is usable with it.  Artificer can have cantrip and lv 1 tats as infusions. The 2024 Arti UA can also get tats of the highest available level, lv 5, eventually. In 2024, you can also easily craft tats (Rare tats will take a while, however). For the purpose of this build, I'll assume that tats of up to lv 1 are readily available, lv 2 techs pretty common in 2024, and lv 4 and 5 tats very intensive. Therefore, lower-leveled tats will be viewed more favorably than higher leveled tats, and especially Rare tats will have to put in work to be rated highly.  I copied FoD's rating system, since I like it  I will be using a 6-point rating system, ranking each option a number out of 6. The criteria for this ranking are as follows: 1 – options rated 1 are abysmal. They are weak to the extent of b...

Glossary of tech & A proposal for ranks of tech

This article will attempt to define tiers of tech use for both editions, similar to TTB's standards of optimization article , and be as complete as possible of a glossary of tech for either or both editions (with Siltech excluded- we'll get to that). I want to quickly communicate what tech I'm going for in any situation where that matters, and I want to make a consolidated list of tech to redirect readers to so that I don't have to explain it or link an explanation in every post of mine.   This is a living article, and one that will never be complete: I encourage you to leave a comment or ping me in any of the Discord optimization servers I'm in (TTB, Form of Dread, Pack Tactics, 2024 Optimization Guides) with mid-high tech or lower that's not included here. Everything here is me mostly scouring TTB, FoD, bootbrew, Moon Knight and using my own memory. Also ping me if I fuck up the alphabetical ordering.   These tiers measure the impact,  but not the obscurity,  ...

Quickstone's Bloodhound Ranger is pretty fun

This is a quick build for Frontier of Eberron: Quickstone's Bloodhound Ranger. I actually like Keith Baker, so for the first time on TattooTechnician.Blogpiss.Com, I actually recommend buying the book if you can.  Overview:  Bloodhound firstly makes Hunter's Mark actually worth casting by making it deal double or triple damage and sometimes be able to use it without requiring any action with Ley Line Tracker. Much better is its Unwavering Attention letting it make an OA once per turn rather than round, which is the main feature this build will build around. Do read these features in their entirety carefully before continuing with this build.  This is a quick build I'm writing on my phone, so lower your expectations, please. Not gonna write every feature, not every spell, not even doing the color-subclass-features thing I of mine.  Familiar yourself with how Echo works in the Ghostlance build by TTB.   Character creation Specie:  Custom Lineage (Magic ...
