Gemstone tattoo

Gemstone tattoos are magical tattoos that, as their name implies, are infused with gemstone dust that enhance the physical capabilities of the person they are tattooed upon.

Description
The process of making gemstone tattoos was invented by the Ki'Nau. The tattoos alter a person's physical capabilities, either increasing an ability score, or granting resistance to a damage type, depending on the gemstone used. A creature can only have one such tattoo.

The gem dusts in the amounts listed below are the ones currently known to give the following effects when used:


 * Ruby dust: +1 Strength (2200gp)
 * Emerald dust: +1 Dexterity (2200gp)
 * Diamond dust: +1 Constitution (2500gp)
 * Jade dust: +1 Wisdom (2200gp)
 * Sapphire dust: +1 Intelligence (2200gp)
 * Aquamarine dust: +1 Charisma (2200gp)
 * Fire Opal dust: Fire resistance (5000gp)
 * Black Sapphire dust: Cold resistance (5000gp)

Residuum can also substitute for any of the types of gems.
