I'm fond of them, but I'm also fond of forced character compels.  I have the occasional tendency to be mercilessly and boringly pragmatic, so having a mechanism that occasionally prompts me to get involved (or spend precious, precious resources denying it) is a good thing for me.<br/><br/>I'm fairly sure tattoo artifact armor still counts as actively-worn armor, so if you do decide on Black Claw I would recommend also picking up Silken Armor for a bit of extra soak.
