Blood Tag

Blood Tag Mystic Basic 800 hours Requires: Leech, any Hand-to-Hand proficiency

A further refinement of the blood-drawing powers of your skin, Blood Tag allows you to do two things. First it allows you to permanently mark someone with your handprint, by using Leech. As the blood must stay contained within the victim's skin for this to work, you do not receive the half-ounce of blood for successfully using Leech stacked with Blood Tag in this fashion. Even though the damage may heal, the red or purple mark will remain in their flesh. This use of Blood Tag grants the victim a saving throw at a 13 or better. The second use—more of a side effect really—is that you may partially draw blood quite rapidly within the victim's flesh. Using this skill in this fashion does not allow you to partake of their blood, nor does it allow the permanent artistry described above. However, it is quick, and painful. You cause an extra two points of damage with each successful attack with your hands, provided the target is not wearing medium or heavy armour. This also leaves large and deep bruises on your foe—even a glancing blow looks like a horse's kick.
