Myydraal Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I was just sitting here thinkin and an idea struck me! Ioun stones! For those of you that have never played D&D these nifty stones will fly around your head and give you bonuses. - Each color of stone will have its on unique orbital path-Each color has there won indivdualized enchantments!-Max of 4 ioun stones may be equiped on a person.-Will not take up an existince equipment slot!-Only one of each kind can be orbiting at a time. I am thinking about adding specail unque abilitys beyond the standard enchanments. Some will give off light i think, thus hampering stealth, but not all. They should not obstruct vision, and will be the size of a ruby or so. Anyways post ideas you guys have, anything is welcome, i really haven't started working on this heavly yet, been working on other things first. Just wanted to see what the intrest is like.

This was extremely popular in NWN when it was modded. Fun stuff. :D These are from D&D of course, but maybe you could have them somehow related to the lore of Tamriel. So for example, what if you had a stone with some kind of bonus per Doomstone? And an Ioun stone is a "chip off the old block" - as in the player ran up to the Doomstone with a pickaxe and chipped a piece off, it would have a minor benefit similar to the doomstone or waystone, etc, and while they would have a dozen or so possibilities, they would have to limit themselves to 4 like you said. The Mara stone might give +10 fortify health, or if you went by the birthstones, the Thief could give +2 agility, or something similar. We have all those cool magical stone shrines.. maybe they'd be useful somehow? Anyway, just an idea.. In any case, I think Ioun stones would be a cool mod. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampede Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 There was a similar mod for Morrowind. One of the first I downloaded, it was called Magical Trinkets or something. It would replace the 'bubble' that normally surrounded you from a protection spell, with a cute stone that would hover around your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer_87 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Haha!! Ioun stones! Finally! As a big dnd fan irelly wanted them inside. They would be cool but do not alter them too much (keep the original names if possible) and yuo should limit them to 2 at a time. I am really looking forward to it!
