Special Abilities

Ioun Affinity (Su)

An ioun wyrd may integrate a number of ioun stones into its body up to 1 + 1/2 its Hit Dice. Because an ioun wyrd sees all ioun stones as equal and gains no benefits from them, the wyrd's ioun stones can be swapped out by any creature the wyrd trusts.

Share Iouns (Su)

A character with an ioun wyrd familiar gains the benefits of its ioun stones as long as he's within 30 feet of the ioun wyrd.

Ioun wyrds appear to be extraplanar creatures somewhat resembling earth elementals, but they're actually bizarre constructs, assembled in laboratories throughout Golarion to serve equally unusual masters. Ioun wyrds have occasionally been found in the wild, typically in regions near hidden wizards' towers or discreet arcane laboratories in the Nexian highlands or Thuvian deserts, if only because mages sometimes find it difficult to keep track of these wily beings. Left to their own devices, ioun wyrds seek out abandoned mines, gem-rich caverns, or lonely grottos where they might find pretty stones, which they see as somehow related to themselves.

A typical ioun wyrd is roughly 2 feet in diameter and weighs 15-20 pounds.

Construction

An ioun wyrd is made of small gemstones, lodestones, and bits of granite which are coated with 500 gp worth of alchemical materials. A single functional ioun stone must also be present, which the ioun wyrd takes as the first ioun stone to be integrated into its body with its ioun affinity.
