Marked

While body art is known in many cultures, the Marked take it to a new level. Their tattoos, scars, and other body modifications have been enchanted to provide exceptional abilities. Mages cannot be marked, their internal magic fouls these enchantments. However, some rogues and warriors find the power granted from becoming one of the Marked too good to pass up. Many Marked find work as monster-hunters and bodyguards, their arcane protections making them ideal candidates to face threats others avoid.
