CLEAR SPINDLE IOUN STONE FREE

Any lesson learned you can share on how its worked out? We're just converting (during level up to 5th) to ABP. So I just discovered the Mind Buttressing armor property. Not to mention that a wayfinder may not be available to the PC. Remember, the Ioun stone only works against evil casters.

That does make it somewhat like Protection From Evil, but not quite. The armor specifically mentions 'mental control'. It specifically says it does work against charm and compulsion effects which include a control component. The FAQ your posted is slightly relevant but the armor does not reference Protection From Evil. Maybe increase the price if you feel it's too strong? Or Just ban it.Ĭontinuous protection from possession from evil creatures is only costs 4,500 gp though (Wayfinder + clear spindle ioun stone) and doesn't take up a slot. (Sleep is a border case for this issue, but the designers feel that 'this spell overrides your brain's sleep centers' is different enough than 'this spell overrides your resistance to commands from others.') The latter interpretation is correct: protection from evil only works on charm and compulsion effects where the caster is able to exercise control over the target, such as command, charm person, and dominate person it doesn't work on sleep or confusion. Protection From Evil: Does this work against all charm and compulsion effects? Or just against charm and compulsion effects where the caster is able to exercise control over the target, such as charm person, command, and dominate person (and thus not effects like sleep or confusion, as the caster does not have ongoing influence or puppet-like control of the target)? So a Mind Buttressing armor would cost 4k. What other items help shore up a weak will save in the 4k to 12k range?įor context: In my home game, we play with Automatic Bonus Progression except you can apply armor/weapon special abilities without regard for the enhancement bonus of the given armor.

I know that there is an ioun stone resonance that give a similar bonus, but I feel that that is obviously too strong, as you are not paying anything for the extra ioun stone effect.

This ability can be applied only to medium or heavy armor.įor a +2 bonus it makes you flat out immune to possession, charm and compulsion effects.Ĭompare the recently nerfed Cap of the Free Thinker, which costs as much as a +1 Mind Buttressing armor and only give a reroll and does not protect against possession? If the check is successful, the effects are suppressed until the creature removes the armor, after which they resume. If it’s donned by a creature already under the influence of such an effect, the creature immediately receives another saving throw (if one was allowed to begin with) against the spell or effect. Mind buttressing armor grants the wearer a +2 resistance bonus on Will saves and renders her immune to possession and mental control (including charm and compulsion effects like command and charm person).
