So I ran the first session of the Shattered Star last night. The session ended after the party recovered the Shard of Pride, and Sheila Heidmarch activated the shard with a scarlet-and-blue ioun stone.
My question is, does the bearer of the shard gain both the full benefit of the ioun stone (+2 Int and Knowledge-history)and the full benefit of the activated shard (+2 saves vs illusion and +2 to all skill checks).
It is pretty powerful to get both. It essentially gives a +2 to all skills but a +3 to all Int-based skills (due to the Int boost). In addition to the skill boost, they will also receive the additional skill points from the Int boost.
I have no problem with allowing it if that is how the author intended it. I just want to make sure I am reading it right.
Thanks!
