Touchstones were small treats, made in various shapes and textures. They could be placed into the mouth, to dissolve into flavors, or broken under the nose and inhaled. Jerec was fond of them, not only for himself but also of giving bad-tasting ones to his subordinates, who he knew were too proud to refuse him.

  • Touchstones were small treats, made in various shapes and textures. They could be placed into the mouth, to dissolve into flavors, or broken under the nose and inhaled. Jerec was fond of them, not only for himself but also of giving bad-tasting ones to his subordinates, who he knew were too proud to refuse him.
  • He played a significantly antagonistic role in Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror.
  • The Touchstone is a statuette, with the upper part being a small sphere surrounded by three rings. By aligning these rings in different positions, the weather can be changed as seen fit. The device can be completely reset by aligning all three rings vertically. The Touchstone was specifically adapted for Madrona. Although it can be used on other planets, the effects can be extreme weather conditions, like floods.
  • Though he was once the proud owner of the 'Big Hats' clan, his pride and joy, all of the members have since left. He now bears the clan cloak as homage to what once was, and what could've been. A begotten relic of a past era, it is Touchstone's most prized possession.
  • A Touchstone is a connection of a vampires Requiem to the mortal world. Most Touchstones are humans, but they can also be places or objects. A Touchstone challenges the vampires values and forces him to face his true nature. This is a general positive effect on the Requiem, even when the vampire has to face tribulation because of it. They are a vital part of a vampires connection to his Humanity and vampires without a Touchstone tend to succumb to the Beast more easily, feeling the pull of Torpor in his mind.
  • A Touchstone is one of several gray stones. It is used to identify gems by rubbing the gem on the stone. Rubbing an iron item on the touchstone will produce a signature "scritch, scritch" noise, which is the most reliable means of identifying the stone. Rubbing any gem on the touchstone will produce the same noise as the result if you are blind. A touchstone is always generated in the inventory of a jewelery shop's shopkeeper.
  • In Creativerse, each player will start in every new gameworld with their personal Touchstone in their quickbar. Wherever you will place this Touchstone, your player-character can teleport to from anywhere without needing a teleporter - plus your character will also automatically respawn at your Touchstone after a defeat. After placing your touchstone, it will always be indicated on your compass-bar (at the top of your screen) with an orange X, no matter how far away you might be from your touchstone.

  • A Touchstone is one of several gray stones. It is used to identify gems by rubbing the gem on the stone. Rubbing an iron item on the touchstone will produce a signature "scritch, scritch" noise, which is the most reliable means of identifying the stone. Rubbing any gem on the touchstone will produce the same noise as the result if you are blind. A blessed touchstone will immediately identify the gem, as will an uncursed touchstone in the hands of an archeologist or gnome. An uncursed or cursed touchstone will merely distinguish glass from gems, but a cursed touchstone has a 1/5 chance of shattering gems that are rubbed on it.. A touchstone is always generated in the inventory of a jewelery shop's shopkeeper.
  • A Touchstone is a connection of a vampires Requiem to the mortal world. Most Touchstones are humans, but they can also be places or objects. A Touchstone challenges the vampires values and forces him to face his true nature. This is a general positive effect on the Requiem, even when the vampire has to face tribulation because of it. They are a vital part of a vampires connection to his Humanity and vampires without a Touchstone tend to succumb to the Beast more easily, feeling the pull of Torpor in his mind. For young Kindred, the Touchstone is usually someone he knew in life. She may be a family member, confidante, lover, or even a rival. She’s someone who reminds him of what he was when he was alive. For older Kindred, the Touchstone is usually tied to his less savory affairs. She may be the daughter of his prized ghoul, someone who looks like his long-dead wife, or the janitor he passes by every morning on his way to sleep. She’s someone who reminds him that once, he was alive.

  • In Creativerse, each player will start in every new gameworld with their personal Touchstone in their quickbar. Wherever you will place this Touchstone, your player-character can teleport to from anywhere without needing a teleporter - plus your character will also automatically respawn at your Touchstone after a defeat. Since R29 (in February 2016) you will not keep a touchstone-icon in your inventory any longer at all times, instead you can place your Touchstone from the quickbar with a right-click on the ground and then you can pull it up again to place it somewhere else, or you can type "T" (default key) to "reclaim" your Touchstone from any distance at any time as well. After placing your Touchstone you'll be able to teleport there within 5 seconds by typing "T" (as the default key) anywhere on this Creativerse-world, except while moving or in imminent danger, like during a fight or when receiving damage over time. So usually most players will place their Touchstones in their base or storage-room. After placing your touchstone, it will always be indicated on your compass-bar (at the top of your screen) with an orange X, no matter how far away you might be from your touchstone. Other players that you invite to your world can spawn and respawn at your Touchstone as well, except if you deactivate this option at the Touchstone (interact with it after placing it in the world with default key "F" and then click the according button to either accept other players' respawn at this spot or not). As long as you don't place your Touchstone, your player-character will always respawn (after being defeated) at the spot where you have entered this Creativerse-world for the first time. Other players visiting your world will spawn at a random spot on this world (since R29) if you should not allow them to spawn at your Touchstone.
