Can someone please put out the stats for the gold and silver stone that was to be put in ToB?

Sounds thats a good reward for killing demogorgon to me...

So if you imported your character from BGI the wis. will go really high....you can have 21 from BGI+ToSC, then +1 from lum's machine and now +1 from this......for a 23 wis :eek: :eek:

Dont forget deck of many things. that makes it 25.. although there are so many more better ioun stones. i like the one that regenerates and gives 15 hp.

What will a 25 wis help with anyway, a bonus 5 spell or something. saving throw bonus isnt in it, and that sucks

Wisdom 25 gives a bonus 7 spell (and six but I am not really sure, have to check to manual).

Seems fairly pointless to me, how many people are actually going to use them?

Yes, unless Cespanar can build the Super Ioun Stone, this silver and gold stones are crap.

What would this Super Ioun stone consist of?

HP, stat and saving throw increase?

What about all Ioun Stones bonus but without stacks. No Ac stacks, no Hp stacks, no thaco stack.

it will be probably:
+1 Thaco
+1 Armor Class
+15 hp
+2 Savings
+1 int
+1 wis
regenerate

Too powerfull? but you need all other stones. And even if is powerfull the others Tob items are much more powerfull.

I think it would have to be specific to bards , kensai and mages, giving that kind of force to a fighter or similarly souped up class would be pushing the realms of reasnoable equipment (IMO)

i think the super ioun stone sounds great! haha... oh.. but here's a little off-topic qu:

After I killed Demomorgan.. I didnt get anything! Ok.. actually, here's my story/situation:

I went to Demomorgan's dungeon.. then I stupidly read the scroll and was trapped. Demo asked me to go to the Knights and tell them to go to the dungeon to witness my 'killing' of Demo once Demo casted a portal out for me.

After I did that, the ghost apparition came to me and offered me my options. I chose to go BACK into the dungeon to kill off Demo. I did so (for the FIRST TIME EVER!!!) but got nothing in return.

Experience wise, I think with a party of 6, I got 80k each for sealing the dungeon, and another 25k for something else.

So.. er.. was there a bug in my situation?

Why is that?

I think it would be cool if they made the super ioun stone, and to counter it they could make a super cursed ioun stone. such as:

you get what appear to be two super ioun stones and you identify them and everything and they look the same. but one of them is cunningly cursed and when you put it on it does just the opposite of the the super ioun stone (a penalty to all those things). the cursed one is of course permanent with no way of getting it off the head of said cursed character. or maybe just have the curse be lifted as long as no one else is using the good one.

I think that would be cool if you could find a way to prevent people from just reloading until the got the good one and then sell the bad one. so you would essentially drain the life force of one character and give it to another for a period of time. that would rule, especially for an evil character. I'd put the cursed one on nalia.

You forgot the pearly white ioun stone which grants a regeneration of 2 hp every minute.
