Ioun Stones

[halfgiant]

So its been a long time, but i distantly remember there was a method for ‘merging’ ioun stones to a character. I thought there was a potion based process? I know the obelisk had other methods, and i think Arg had his own. I can’t quite remember what that potion based process was did Dasaroth come up with that?

[dwarf]

yeah, Dysaroth figured out a way to liquefy Ioun stones into a potion - though once you’d imbibed a certain stone, no more of that exact type would work for you again (internally or externally).

i don’t recall Arg or his obelisk merging ioun stones into living creatures, tho i do remember the ogre compacting a few to use when making armor…

[halfgiant]

Does Dregs know how to do that? Or does that take a few more levels? I honestly don’t remember.

[dwarf]

once we hit Epic, he’d be able to. don’t think we’re QUITE there yet…
