== Stone Of The Savant's Icy Memory ==
<b> Level 1, Air </b> <i>by BrilliantRain </i>

This stone looks like a perfectly spherical crystal lattice of light blue ice. The stone assists it's owner's memory so that they will never forget anything they have read. Such perfect memory of text gives +1 die to any roll where book learning would be a major help.

== Comments ==
You know depending on how good you are at coming up with explinations for things, that's a +2 bonus to all rolls ever. - [[Telgar]]

More to the point, it thus acts as a weird form of stunt bonus. Which, to me, is something in-theme for Exalted - you force the player to be 'cool' and descriptive, and they get bonuses. I think it's ok, as a result -- GregLink

No, being cool and descriptive gets a stunt. Twisting words to get another bonus is not being cool, its being abusive. My contention is that this is too losely defined and far too open to abuse. - [[Telgar]]

:Rather suprisingly I agree with Telgar. Any idea how I can change the wording so that it covers similar territory as the Abstract Abacus Alchemical charm or the Careful Insight-Gathering Study charm from Ab:Air? My source material for this stone is the level 1 medical stone (for the number of dice) from the main book and the Savant's Icy Eye from Ab:Air. -- BrilliantRain

::Well, you could be more specific about what the bonus is to. Mathematical calculations or maybe logistic puzzles? Just phrase the bonus so it applies more narrowly then "analytical thought". - [[Telgar]]

Ok, I couldn't figure out how to rephrase the benifit, so I redesigned the stone and lowered the bonus. Now, even if you can stunt it to get the bonus on many rolls, it's only 1 extra die and there are still some rolls where it really cannot help you, so I think it works. --BrilliantRain
