Item Mod Request

Hey!!!
I have a relatively simple Mod Request and maybe if a Modder has time and Interest creating that little Item it would be highly appreciated by me and maybe others as well.
The Item in Question is the "Violet Ioun Stone of Pride" and I would like to ask if it is possible to put it in the Store of Thunderhammer Smithy in BG EE and Ribald's Store in BG2 EE.
The only Ability I really would like the Ioun Stone to have is Protection against Critical Hits and maybe a Penalty of -1 to Wisdom.
In Terms of Item Descriptions I thought about something like this:
This Violet Ioun Stone originally belonged to a Dwarven Paladin of Clangeddin Silverbeard called Hesgruc Goldblade. Hesgruc was a prideful Man who wanted to be admired for his Skillfull Handling of his Golden Sword and who wanted to be easily identified by his Brothers and Sisters in Arms on the Battlefield. In Pursuit of this Goal he commissioned a Special Ioun Stone from his Clan's Best Blacksmith. The Ioun Stone should allow him to show his face on the Battlefield to everyone but also have similar Protections a Helmet would grant the Wearer.
His Wish was granted allowing him to show his Skill to everyone. A few months after he received his new Magical Item he paid the price for his Vanity though. During an Ork Raid on the Fortress of the Dwarves, Hesgruc was quickly surrounded by a Troop of Orkish Halberdiers. The Orkish General specifically instructed his Man to surround and kill Hesgruc Goldblade as fast as possible. Due to him not wearing and enclosed Helmet like his Comrades it was an easy task identifying him during the Battle and only thirty minutes after the Battle started Hesgruc was slain.
The Morale of the Story is simple. Sometimes it is wiser to be humble than boastfull.
The Price could be between 10000 to 15000 Gold. The Names are not set in Stone. So maybe you guys have better Ideas.
I think especially Monks and Kensais would appreciate an Item like this. Since it would be a significant Power Boost for them i opted for a higher Price.
Maybe someone want to pick this up

EET is supported.
I think it really helps out poor Monks especially on harder Difficulties with Double Damage enabled and is also a nice Option for any Character who doesn't want to have an Helmet Animation!!!!!
Sry for my poor English btw.
I am not a Native English Speaker so I appreciate that you polished the Item Description and Story as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👍
Hi,
i had a bit of time now for a new install yesterday and checked out your Ioun Stone you made for me
Everything works excellent. Unfortunately i made one Typo in that part of the text:
"Due to him not wearing and enclosed helmet.."
If you have a bit of free time i would be happy when you can correct my mistake.
Maybe i can change it with a Text Editor???
I included a Screenshot.
Thank you a lot for your help
I did not have to look hard for this. Standard mod architecture puts those strings in .tra files, to support multiple languages easily if translations become available.
Now it's also possible playing Characters without Helmet Animations. I wonder if that would be possible to make a Mod with Toggling Helmet Animations on and off
Maybe I could open a similar thread to see if it someone might help with tweaking another item that interests me. Hmmm...
Toggling would be complicated. Tweaks Anthology has an option to remove helmet animations though.
