The Inkbender - A Class Weaving Magic Through Arcane Tattoos (5e)
The inkbender is an original class for D&D 5e that offers a new and unique form of spellcasting not seen in any of the official classes. The inkbender is able to absorb spells from any class¸ as long as they can find them over their adventures¸ and assimilate those spells onto their bodies as permanent or temporary spell tattoos. Spells are absorbed via the use of two abilities¸ Vortex and Writing is Power. As they reach level three¸ an inkbender may also choose to specialize in one of two inking styles. The martial style offers weapon and armor tattoos¸ and can imbue spells from their tattoos into their ink weapons for combined attacks. The conjuror style allows an inkbender to have sentient companions in the form of creature tattoos that fight and live alongside the player.
