[edit] Notes
A Character with the Pink and Green Ioun Stone active
- Introduced in Hordes of the Underdark.
- Ioun Stones are highly useful for providing a long lasting (24 hour) boost to ability scores. While other items may provide larger boosts, Ioun Stones do not need to be equipped.
- The Dusty Rose Ioun Stone provides a deflection bonus to armor class. This does not stack with other deflection bonuses, often making this stone redundant.
- Since the Deep Red Ioun Stone increases dexterity, it often provides an indirect (and stacking) bonus to armor class equal to that from the Dusty Rose, but be aware of the maximum dexterity bonus.
