Prerequisites:
Draconic Glyphs:
Every skill or ability a Sith can learn has a symbol (“Glyph”) that represents it. When learning an ability, the teacher performs the ritual tattooing in which the Glyph is permanently drawn onto the skin of the Sith. The Glyph must be drawn at least one inch tall on the skin. Some abilities require the Glyph to be placed on a specific location, if it is not specified then the Glyph may be drawn anywhere. Once the Tattoo spends a month healing, the Sith may use the ability.
There are two types of Glyphs, Solar and Lunar. Lunar Glyphs represent spell like abilities., while Solar Glyphs are more complex then the Lunar ones and are used to represent skills purchased off the list.
A Solar Glyph starts off simple but as the Sith purchases the skill multiple times, instead of tattooing the Glyph multiple times, you simply add to the existing Glyph, so the Glyph keeps on growing in size and intricacy.
Lunar Glyphs are simple symbols that represent spell like abilities. They can only be purchased once so the Glyph never grows or changes. Once the Lunar Glyph tattoo heals, the Sith may use the associated ability. However the lunar Glyph must first be fed by the spirit of the Sith before it can be activated. To feed a lunar Glyph the Sith, must push their own blood into the tattoo. This will lay aside 2 body points for each rank of the Glyph. This will take 15 second of concentration per rank of the Glyph. This concentration must be done in a non-combat situation. While these body points are stored they may not be healed or used as body points to keep the Sith standing. Once the Glyphs is invoked then the Sith may be healed. It is important to note that only Lunar Glyphs need to be fed, and Solar Glyphs do not.
Lunar Glyphs are organized much like spells. There are four ranks of Glyphs and the Prerequisite for the next rank is two Glyphs from the previous rank. The cost is the same as spells: 1 / 2 / 3 / 3 Build. In order to cast a Glyph, the Sith must invest body points at a cost of x2 the level of the Glyph, or 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 (To have all 12 Glyphs fully charged would require 60 Body). Lunar Glyphs may not be stacked (charged multiple times).
