Ioun Stones– Magical Item (Dungeon Master Guide)
Ioun Stones: These magical 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 the stones, he must
hold each and then release it, so it takes up a circling orbit, whirling and
trailing, circling 1d3 feet from his head. Thereafter, the stones must be grasped
or netted to separate them their owner. The owner may voluntarily seize and
stow the stones (at night, for example) to keep them safe, but he loses the
benefits of the stones during that time. 1d10 ioun stones will be found, though there
are 14 different kinds, in all. Roll 1d20 to determine the property of each
stone, a duplication indicating a stone which is burned out and useless but
counts as one of the number found:
Whenever ioun stones are exposed to attack, they are treated as Armor Class -4
and take 10 points of damage to destroy. They save as if they were of hard
metal–+3 bonus.
