Exemplar: 2 ikons in the same object

[Dolinor]

Hi,

I have a question about the ikons of the exemplar. At level 1, we have 3 ikons to choose. Each ikon is imbued in an item.

My question: is it possible to imbue the same item with 2 different ikons if the prerequisities are ok for the 2 ikons on the object. For example, gleaming blade and barrow edge on a bastard sword.

Thank you for your response.

There was a big discussion on that as far as I remember.
And as I also remember, most of the Exemplar texts imply (to me) that all items-icons are different and I wouldn't allow to double anything.

While its debated and the text is murky I believe the concensus is no,

Ikons are explicitly called out as Items with the Ikon trait, you also gain one item for each worn or weapon Ikon when selecting the Ikons at level 1. These items are your ikons, they do not house your ikons they are your ikons.

Ofcourse there is nothing stopping you from using the downtime activity to 'swap' your ikon into an item that is already an ikon appart from a vague explanation that powerful items may behave unpredictably, But that is almost guaranteed to be a thing that was overlooked from the playtest days where an examplar was forced to have one ikon of each kind.
