Description
A small, irregular crystal that orbits the head of its bearer once attunement is established, hovering silently within arm's reach at all times. While the stone orbits, the bearer cannot be surprised and gains a constant edge in initiative-related situations. The stone provides no other obvious effect, but its passive vigilance is invaluable in ambush-prone environments and bandit-infested wilderness. The stone may be plucked from the air by an attacker, granting them the benefits if they wear it. It is the favored ioun stone of leaders, scouts, and high-value targets who cannot afford to be caught off guard.
