Thank you for restoring the ioun stones

[The Grim Ripper]

one of the aspects I really like for ToB is the way that mages can now use Ioun stones. after all, they were designed for mages by mages, really

[Taluntain]

So who are you thanking exactly? The world at large didn't have anything to do with it.

[Sir Dargorn]

I think actually he is raising his arms to the air and thanking whichever lord he prays to for this, the most humble but most wonderful of gifts.
Here is just a little bit of info on what each one of these mage accepting miricales does:

This Ioun stone glows with a dusty rose hue, hinting at calming images and sensations. While pleasing, it does not appear to enhance the basic protection enchantment upon it.

Pale green ioun stone:
On his deathbed, aged hero Rigar TrueBlood begged one last request of his mage companion Spectorial: that his skill and fortitude as a warrior live on.

look out extrermist, theres a new kid in town

he was thanking someone, not asking for a complete.........nevermind, nice work

[Maertyn]

I know this is SoA, but just for those who are curious, Ioun Stones weren't meant to be worn by mages by the developers! I found this on BalderDash (patch):

...but the developers have stated that they really did want to restrict mages, bards and other characters who can't wear helmets from using them, though they were invented in AD&D by a mage for mages. This is in reality probably due to a hard-coding in the Infinity engine whereby anything in the "head" slot protects against critical hits as a helmet and this ability can't be removed. Here they are for all characters to use...

So the Stones protect against Critical Hits!

[Capstone]

Sweetness and Light! Any in-game confirmation? Actually, I think that's correct, as at least half of my party is wearing these fancy little stones now, and I'm fairly sure I've gotten Critical Hit prevented by Helmet on them still.
