Umm, I dont know. I just used an NPC my friend/dm used about a year ago. Quite the little *****, you could use her for all sorts of tactics. saving a village from destruction, getting rid of a village. Play the grim reaper type
. Angel type? Anything really. Or just use her as you see fit.

No, we can't... and having Steverooo's tournament games and contests brought to my attention again right now is very well timed.

Idea That Just Came To Me
How would you feel to have a psionic villain that possessed special Ioun stones that each also acted as a psicrystal, and possibly interacted in new and strange ways? How this person managed such a feat could be a mystery, suggesting a sinister secret attached to our friend, Congenio...
Deep Red Sphere w/ Nimble Personality
Pale Blue Rhomboid w/ Bully Personality
Scarlet And Blue Sphere w/ Sage Personality (Knowledge: Psionics)
Pearly White Spindle w/ Single-minded Personality
Pale Green Prism w/ Meticulous Personality
I'm not sure what classes I'd pick, but I think I'd go with human, or maybe tiefling...

Kaodi, thanks for keeping this thread alive. 
This refers to my new story hour thread, right here.
Seule asked what level Congenio Ioun is, and the players gave you an idea. Here's his actual statistics. Warning: spoiler enclosed. Please do not share or allude to any of this information on the main story hour thread!
[sblock]
-- MAJOR CAMPAIGN SECRET --
Ioun is 16th level! Loaded down with epic magic items, but 16th level none the less.
He USED to be 27th level. Then Imbindarla died, magic ceased for 30 seconds or so, and Secretary Annel was horrified to see her friend shrivel and die from old age in the space of a few heartbeats. Ioun had used magic to extend his life, and it didn't react well to loss of magic.
He was a methodical man who had planned for this, though. Annel went down to where she kept his most recently updated clone. . . and it was dead, too. As were the other six he had squirrelled away. All of them nothing but rotten meat.
Finally, on a long-abandoned demiplane containing a temporary lab that Ioun had used 4000 years ago, Annel found a clone that Ioun had created at 15th level. His first clone. She revived it, brought him back, and began an elaborate charade wherein she taught Ioun everything he needed to know in order to rule his empire. She keeps tight control over his interactions with strangers, and helps him protect the secret while keeping the empire running smoothly. She used to be his cohort. . . now he's hers.
When Fajitas said "back when I was 27th level" while he was playing Ioun, it was a beautiful piece of metagaming. Folks are thinking he's 28th or 29th, not 16th.
That's why they want Corsai. If there's an external threat, Ioun probably isn't strong enough to deal with it.
Note, incidentally, that I'm using a non-3.5 version of the clone spell. Ioun is old school!

I've been wondering about that, as I remember that Ioun was specifically mentioned as someone who might be fatally affected by the magic silence... I was about to ask in the new thread - good thing I didn't.
