The Magic item slots of a Ioun Wyrd


Rules Questions


I having a hard time working out the magic item slot of the Ioun Wyrd.

it a flying stone with flying rocks and gems that looks like earth elemental but is a ‎Construct.

Hell I got no idea if the thing can hold things, best i can come up with is that it got no feet slot.

link to the Ioun Wyrd page..


It may hold a number of Ioun Stones equal to 1.5x its HD, so 1 at its base form with no HD boosts, & it confers the benefits of those Ioun stones to its master within 30ft if it is a familiar, I would say if pressed for an answer, nothing else, it is a loose amalgamation of stones so a belt or armor would not work, nor would a ring, no eyes, or head to fit anything on....sounds like just the Ioun Stones.

Maybe a belt around the center stone, but that would be an "ask your GM" thing since it is kind of a smaller center stone.

Everything has magic item slots available. I would probably go with using verminous from the magic item slots for animals area as it only has eyes and belt slots which would fit the picture.

Edit: By the picture, I meant the picture in familiar folio of it.


I agree it has slots, which is why I said belt maybe, I went by the verminous idea as well, but it seems to have no eyes, which rules out eyes (uses blindsight) so an eye slot doesn't make sense. hence why I said a belt. I also stated it can use 1.5x hd in ioun stones which can be a nice benefit. a Familiar uses its Master's Level as HD number for effects related to HD which thi would be. a Level 7 Wizard with this familiar would have up to 10 ioun stones active at once.

but with an eye slot you can make 'the goggles, they do nothing!' jokes.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I could see a hat being held up by the cloud of hovering stones - probably covering the whole creature in the process.


well, earth elementals are roughly-humanoid amalgams of floating rocks anyway, so having the 'head' rock with a small (top)hat or something could make sense. could even give it a monocle with that eye slot.


well thats an elemental, this is described not as a humanoid, but just a central stone with rocks floating around it, a hat maybe, but much of the slots will be kinda GM fiat as to what the GM can envision working for this creature. My personal Ruling would be "Hat or Belt, & Ioun Stones" The image I can find online of the creature is far from humanoid.


You can see why i have a hard time with this (i do not own the book, only got it on hero lab so i can not see the pic of it)

Well there zero on the page saying it can only see by blindsight so it can see. "Such senses may include sensitivity to vibrations, acute scent, keen hearing, or echolocation" so i think it be somthing magic seeing or picking up vibrations on how it has that.

What is is missing as well Low-light vision and Darkvision 60 feet that all Construct get as well.
