Using cracked Ioun stones in Wayfinders (for normal play, ie. NOT PFS)


Rules Questions


In Seekers of Secrets (page 51) there are rules for generating resonance powers when placing an Ioun stone in a Wayfinder.

Can anyone explain where does the rules text from this source explicitly state that you CANNOT use cracked (or flawed) Ioun stones using Method 1 resonance detection.

As I understand it, I cannot read where it explicitly states this is NOT possible but I would like someone to show me if I am wrong (or not).

PS: I know the rules on this are explicit for PFS play but I want to know for a "normal" campaign. Someone on another thread has suggested that there is a 25% chance of detecting resonance powers in a cracked Ioun Stone but I cannot find this rule in any PFRPG source.

Many thanks for any clarifications.


Page 46:

75% of normal ioun stones have resonant powers.
25% of cracked or flawed ioun stones have resonant powers.
10% of scorched ioun stones have resonant powers.


Incidentally, that isn't the chance to detect powers; it the chance for the ioun stone to have resonant powers at all.


Hi blahpers, I missed it in that page (failed perception check and all that !). thanks for your eagle eyes...hehe.
