Magical Item – Very Rare – Ioun Stone – Strength – 30,000 gp
- Standard: An Ioun stone is named after Ioun, a god of knowledge and prophecy revered on some worlds, in Mystara this is the Immortal The Great One. Many types of Ioun stone exist, each type a distinct combination of shape and colour.
- When you use an action to toss one of these stones into the air, the stone orbits your head at a distance of 1d3 feet and confers a benefit to you. Thereafter, another creature must use an action to grasp or net the stone to separate it from you, either by making a successful attack roll against AC 24 or a successful DC 24 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. You can use an action to seize and stow the stone, ending its effect.
- A stone has AC 24, 10 hit points, and resistance to all damage. It is considered to be an object that is being worn while it orbits your head.
- Multiple Ioun Stones add their light radius, and blend the colours.
- The Strength stone appears as a pale blue rhomboid. This stone glows with a blue light when orbiting your head. Lights up 5ft radius around you.
- Attunement: If you are attuned, your Strength score increases by 2, to a maximum of 20, while this pale blue rhomboid orbits your head.
- Relic: If you are a Dragon and attuned to this item, you can attach it to your scales instead of have it flying around your head for the same effect, and your ability scores maximum increases by 10.

As magical gemstone, these make great dragon relics as I can’t see many creatures being able to steal one from next to a dragons head.
