Is Implanting Ioun stones allowed in PFS?

[88sghd5g]

Since time between scenarios is indeterminate and failure is not fatal, it would seem like one could get the stones implanted by doing it yourself (assuming you have the bonuses to have a theoretical chance)

What does the Additional Resources document say?

Implant is all good.

I suggest thinking hard on where you want to implant them to give your character a creative look.

Like having them on the forehead and cheeks to make a scary "multi-eyed spider" theme character.

I'd ruther implant them a little deeper, and cover them with a smooth cat's eye opal or some such gem.

But be careful, since implanting a clear spindle Ioun stone may make it impossible to implant any additional stones...

Same for wearing a ring of sustance...

It may be considered impossible to fast when you don't need to eat...

Odd, because I thought ioun stones were only activated once they were set spinning in your aura. If they're just active on you at all times, that means having them implanted is just an odd step to the process. But, this gives me wiggle room for embedding that magic missile wand in my forearm like I've always wanted.

Edit: on the other hand, the GM in me says "'ere now, wot's this? Someone's got a pretty..." (bandit drawing dagger with evil glint in eye.)

You might want to read the rules about implanting Ioun stones surgically, in Seeker of Secrets, as it explains how it works, and how to do it.

You and the stone spend time meditating together so that it attunes to your aura. It's harder to steal an implanted stone that it is to steal/sunder a stone in a wayfinder or one orbiting your head.
