Stone of AllianceSource Ultimate Equipment pg. 321 Aura faint divination; CL 3rd Slot none; Price 5,000 gp; Weight —DescriptionThis tiny sphere of marble can be used to strengthen an existing
link between the user and a creature bound to him. When
activated by a creature and then swallowed by that creature’s
animal companion, bonded mount, or familiar, the stone
magically remains inside the companion creature. Thereafter,
the master is continually aware of the companion’s distance,
direction, and general condition as if using the spell status. If
the master has line of sight to the companion, he may as an
immediate action protect the creature from being harmed by
one successful attack, taking the full effect of that attack instead.
Once per day the master may spend a standard action to
transfer the blinded, dazzled, deafened, fatigued, shaken,
or sickened condition from the companion to himself.
Alternatively, the master may partially transfer the exhausted,
frightened, or nauseated condition from the companion to
himself, with he and the companion both suffering the lesser
version of that condition (fatigued for exhausted, and so on).
The master must be within 30 feet of the companion for him
to use either aspect of this ability.
The stone remains harmlessly inside the companion until it
dies, the master dies, or the master dismisses the companion, at
which point it crumbles into a worthless powder and is digested.
