Crystal, amethyst, sapphire, emerald, topaz, and the Ruby Dragon Sardior himself - gem dragons have been part of D&D since the earliest days.
Ed Greenwood says: "There's something cool about dragons. A special sort of cool. Great power, hubris, magic, wits to match the adventurers' own. Any Dungeon Master can always use a new dragon, either a detailed individual or entirely new sorts of dragons. In Gem Dragons of Faerûn, you get both.
"Gem dragons have been around for a long time, but this is the best and most detailed (and, of course, 5th Edition) treatment of them I've ever laid eager DM's eyes on, and I met an old friend in its pages. Lovingly worked into the fabric of the Realms and fully realized for any D&D campaign, these wyrms are ready to leap off the pages and into your campaign. A winner! Two talons way, way up!"

Makes me think of the one someone made over on the Giant in the Playground forums: Gem Dragons
I always liked the gem dragons, personally.

Yep, they've been a favorite of mine since they first appeared in (gulp) 1980.
This version also includes Sardior and 5 named individual gem dragons of the Realms, plus some neat lore and stats for the Sardorian golems.
Any gem dragonborn planned?
Is there an expansion planned?
Any lazuli, obsidian, carnelian, citrine, jasper, moonstone, onyx, peridot, amber, jade, aquamarine, opal or diamond dragons being considered?
Just curious.

Currently not planned. Though if I had to pick, I think we'd avoid the semi-precious stones (save those for drakes), and do diamond and maybe jade.
However, we have plans to do psionic variants if/when those rules become official, and plan to add more art to the PDF if/when we hit the Gold sales level.
Diamond and Jade dragons sound great!
Thank you.
So, if IRL a diamond can only be cut with another diamond, does that make the AC of a diamond dragon effectively infinite? :P
I was happy to see Gem Dragonborn on Kobold Press today. :)
I mean, I'm not going to buy the supplement until WotC finalizes the psionics rules, but that's just because I'm a cheapskate. God, I suck. :(
Really neat! I like how they don't just do damage.
Is there a reason this has not been mentioned on the Third-Party Product message board?
I'll bet many who might like this product do not know that it exists.

Excellent point! I didn't do an 'official' post there because that forum is technically for "third-party products published under the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Compatibility License"
HOWEVER, Gem Dragons has lots of great 'fluff' and the stat blocks are pretty easy to convert over to Pathfinder, so I agree 100% that Pathfinder fans would also get plenty out of it! If you wanted to post something to that effect in the Third-Party Product section, I think that would be awesome :)
