Crystal Mindstone

Level 1, Air by BrilliantRain

This stone looks like a perfectly spherical crystal lattice of light blue quartz. The stone promotes structured and logical thinking in the attuned wearer giving them +2 dice on rolls that benifit from such analytical thought.

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
