In my game a great deal because of the magical order I created in which
these things are nessary to increase in grade. Getting the Tattoo's and
piercing are part of the ordeal that the members must endure. When
members of this enchanting circle whant to advance more extra holes and
more ink. For that matter they are required to even become members at
all. Players wishing to join this circle had better understand the pain
and suffering they are required to endure. They have to make several
rolls in this process. Just having the Karma is not enough you have to
want the magic too These are willpower rolls mostly.
