Wearer may equip up to two additional ioun stones.
This item’s effect stacks with other Ioun Stone slot-expanders, but the wearer is still subject to the Slot Expanders Cap of no more than nine Ioun Stones.
not exchangeable
Adds +4 to Constitution (thus adding +2 to Fortitude saving throws and +2 to max HP per character level) and the wearer suffers –2 to Will saving throws
When the wearer attacks with a Mystic Staff or casts a scroll, they get bonus damage/healing depending on how many Earcuffs of the Cabal are equipped in the party, as seen below:
Each wearer gains additional AC based on the number of Earcuff of the Phalanx equipped in the party, as shown below:
Shock and/or Sonic damage inflicted on the wearer is reduced by 2 points per attack/effect. If an attack deals both Shock and Sonic, reduce each by 2. E.g., if the wearer is hit with a thunderclap spell that deals a total of 10 damage comprised of 5 Shock and 5 Sonic, the wearer only suffers 6 damage.
On a successful hit with metal melee weapon, the wearer deals an additional 2 damage as Shock.
Note: If performing a flurry of blows attack, a monk may only use these gloves while wielding a hand-held metallic weapon–including “punch-daggers”, such as a Viper Strike Fangs. Monks may not use these gloves in combination with bracer-weapons or with bare-handed attacks.
Use of this amazing item will allow a rogue to start a Rogue Skill Test from the midway point through the challenge instead of at the start. This may only be used once per room. It cannot be used simultaneously with Masterwork Thieves’ Tools. However, it is possible for rogues to use their Masterwork Thieves’ Tools after using the Ektdar’s Tinkering Tool. This second chance would start at the beginning of the skill challenge.
The user gains the Dragonkin sub-type, thus granting:
- +2 to either Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Wisdom, Intelligence, or Charisma (pick one during coaching)
- Dragon Breath damage inflicted on the owner is reduced by 20 points per attack
