Bloodlust Tattoo - Magic Item (Premium Supplement)
🕑 Added 2023-11-29 11:05:44 +0000 UTC🗡️💢🔥 Perched high upon the ancient stone ramparts, your adventuring party watches the battle unfold below. The clash of steel rings out as a sea of orcs, their skin marked with the glow of Bloodlust Tattoos, collides with a disciplined line of human defenders.
As you scan the chaos, one orc warrior catches your eye. With each swing of his massive axe, an enemy falls, and the red tribal marks along his arms glow brighter, pulsating with the rhythm of battle. His roars grow louder, echoing his rising strength as he cuts through the human ranks, a relentless force of nature.
The human soldiers fight bravely, their shields locked in a wall of iron, but you can see the tide turning. The fury of the tattooed orcs is palpable, even from the walls, as each fallen foe seems to invigorate them further. Their crimson tattoos shine like embers, a testament to the blood spilled this day. 🗡️💢🔥

Bloodlust Tattoo
Wondrous item (tattoo), uncommon (requires attunement)
Crafted with ink mixed from the ashes of a warrior's blade and the blood of a fearsome beast, this magic tattoo features a pattern of intertwining lines and sharp angles that invoke a sense of ferocity and strength.
Tattoo Attunement. To attune to this tattoo, you must press the enchanted design to your skin, usually on the forearm or over the heart. The attunement process takes 1 hour, during which the tattoo weaves itself into your flesh, becoming one with you. Should you ever choose to end your attunement, the tattoo fades painlessly away, leaving your skin as it was before.
Killing Spree. While you are attuned to this tattoo and you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack, a surge of adrenaline increases the ferocity of your blows. You gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls with melee attacks. This bonus lasts until the end of your next turn and is cumulative for each creature reduced to 0 hit points with your melee attacks, up to a maximum bonus of +3.
Relentless Conqueror. If you gain the maximum bonus of +3 from this tattoo, the primal essence of the hunt invigorates you. While you have this maximum bonus, you emit a subtle red glow, resembling the embers of a dying fire.
