View source for SRD:Ioun Stone

{{OGL Top}}
'''Ioun Stones:''' These crystalline stones always float in the air and must be within 3 feet of their owner to be of any use. When a character first acquires a stone, she must hold it and then release it, whereupon it takes up a circling orbit 1d3 feet from her head. Thereafter, a stone must be grasped or netted to separate it from its owner. The owner may voluntarily seize and stow a stone (to keep it safe while she is sleeping, for example), but she loses the benefits of the stone during that time. ''Ioun stones ''have [[SRD:AC|AC]] 24, 10 [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]], and hardness 5.

Regeneration from the pearly white ''ioun stone ''works like a ''[[SRD:Ring of Regeneration|ring of regeneration]]. ''(It only cures damage taken while the character is using the stone.) The pale lavender and lavender and green stones work like a ''[[SRD:Rod of Absorption|rod of absorption]], ''but absorbing a spell requires a readied action, and these stones cannot be used to empower spells. Stored spells in the vibrant purple stone must be placed by a spellcaster but can be used by anyone (see ''[[SRD:Minor Ring of Spell Storing|ring of minor spell storing]]'').

Moderate varied; CL 12th; [[SRD:Craft Wondrous Item|Craft Wondrous Item]], creator must be 12th level.
