I noticed something peculiar about aeon stones. They don't have a clause , as far as I can tell, saying they can't hold additional weight. This got me thinking about buying a little costume for it using the 5 credit item from armory. I am thinking a little model ship that makes noises with some clear glass to the center.
Looking through the rulebook this might have some wonky interactions with gear clamps. Am I missing a rule that stops this from working?
Also if this does work what plushies should I get to orbit around my characters head?
While it's pretty harmless if your ion stone wears a knitted dragon cozy, trying to combine it with gear clamps runs into a problem.

They don't say I cannot does NOT equal I can.

I like the idea of knitted dragon cozies. My character is planning on getting a wyrmling dragon gland so it would fit well. Initially it was just going to be mass effect ship models.
The reason I noted that there was no clause about weight is that there are a few things that will stop it from orbiting your head and providing benefits. Here are the rules.
"Placing an aeon stone in orbit around your head is a standard action, and removing it is a move action. An aeon stone must be in orbit for you to benefit from its abilities. The stone orbits at a distance of 3 inches to 3 feet, as you prefer, but always outside any armor or helmet you wear. An orbiting aeon stone has an Armor Class equal to 12 + your character level, and it can be attacked directly or even grappled (a successful grapple check plucks the stone out of its orbit and into the attacker’s hand)."
The way I am reading it is that the ioun stone provides benefits until 1 of 3 conditions is met. It is destroyed which is why it hs ac. You remove it as a move action. Or someone else grapples it at it ends up in their hand.
There is no other way for the benefits of an ioun stone to be removed in the rules. Putting a bag on it doesn't stop it's orbit.
For dragon plushies do you think a classic red dragon would be best or would going for a more artistic choice like a Pyrausta stand out more?
I'm a fan of green st george and the fire breathing dragons myself

A B C and D will do X does not mean that ONLY A B C and D will do X. It doesn't follow.
Putting a paper bag on is probably fine. Putting a 10 pound suit of armor on it will drop it out of the sky.

Ok so in game terms you would allow an item of negligible bulk to be on the aeon stones without impacting the functionality.
So if someone were to get a tier 1 computer with maxed out miniaturization and artificial personality they could have a little talking buddy orbiting their head?
Maybe a glass pixie statue with a computer in it that says hey listen would be best.
Also thanks for serving as a baseline for least permissive GM I would still play with.

.... not just no, Hell no!!

Should work. My spacerat has a pin of thoth clipped onto his tail. Doesn't really matter where it is it still works the same.
Is the objection to that specific one or the concept of aeon plushies in general?Maybe a glass pixie statue with a computer in it that says hey listen would be best..... not just no, Hell no!!
Specifically the fairy idea.
