Description

My illustration of ~Benchak's super-brilliant, "why didn't I think of this thing" item, which has won him a coveted spot in the RPG Superstar Top 32.

Here's to his continued successes (and more interesting artistic fare than a fist-sized rock :P ).

Item stats can be found below; these are, as far as I'm concerned, game-legal. If it's good enough for Paizo and Necromancer Games, it's good enough to appear in my game.

Steadfast Gut-Stone
Aura faint abjuration; CL 3rd
Slot — ; Price 800 gp; Weight 2 lbs.
Description
This fist sized chunk of off-white stone seems too large to fit inside a man's mouth, but may be swallowed with ease as a standard action. Once ingested, the gut-stone may remain active for up to a week, maneuvering itself within the body to protect its owner's vital organs. Any time an attack would subject the user to precision based damage (such as a rogue's sneak attack), that damage is instead directed to the gut-stone. All other damage from the triggering attack, as well as damage that surpasses the gut-stone's hit points, is applied to the character normally. A gut-stone has 10 hit points and 0 hardness.

When a gut-stone is damaged by a melee weapon attack, as a free action it's owner may sacrifice the stone to damage the attacker's weapon. Treat this as a regular sunder attempt, except that it does not provoke an attack of opportunity, bypasses the weapon's hardness, and deals 1d4 points of damage.

Only one gut-stone may be in a body at a time. Any attempt to swallow a second destroys both stones and forces the swallower to make a DC 15 fortitude save or be sickened for one round. If a gut-stone is not used within a week of being swallowed, or is destroyed, it crumbles apart and is passed harmlessly out of the body.
