Pearly White Spindle Ioun Stone...immune to bleed?


Rules Questions


Is the Pearly White Spindle Ioun Stone exactly like a ring of regeneration except how quickly the hp is recovered?


No, only the regeneration aspect of the ring of regeneration is duplicated (with a different speed). Bleed immunity is not.

pretty sure anything that has regeneration or fast healing is immune to bleed


What about regrowing lost limbs?

As written, regeneration and fast healing do nothing to stop bleed damage. Bleed damages stopped by a successful Heal check, or any amount of magical healing. Neither Fast Healing or Regeneration is magical (surprisingly). According to James Jacobs, however, bleed damage was intended to be stopped by any sort of healing.

Having Regeneration or Fast Healing does not prevent you from taking bleed damage, however. Nothing in either ability or the description of bleed damage says fast healing or regeneration makes you immune. The healing each does would stop it. But you have to wait until that healing kicks in. For the ioun stone, that could be up to 10 minutes away.

It does exactly (and only) what it says it does - heals 1 point of damage every 10 minutes. Nothing else.

I actually started a FAQ on this awhile back.

"Is a normally non-magical form of healing that comes a magical source considered magical healing?"


I ask because of the phrase "Regeneration works like a ring of regeneration," in the Ioun Stones description. What is that referring to, then? It's already stated that you regain 1 hp so often, why would it say that?
