Lesath pulls an Infinite Rod from the location; Vika's mouth starts watering.
Lesath doesn't have the Melee, Arcane, or Divine trait. The chance to make a DC 13 Strength check isn't possible (there's only 1 Blessing available).
She does have the Emerald of Dexterity in hand, so he could use his Dexterity Die (d10). Through the five adventures, he has all three checks marked.
Question 1: After using the Emerald of Dexterity, would he use the die (d10), or die plus checks (d10+3)?
Question 2: As he has now made it a Dex Die check, would that additional Blessing now use that Dex die (d10), or his base Strength die (d6)?
Question 3: Let's say he has the Mythic Trickster path (Dex and Intelligence)- would he be able to Mythic Charge it to convert one of the d10s to a d20?

When you use a stat gem you're replacing the die, but you're not changing anything else about the check. You're rolling a d10, so blessings will add further d10s, but it's still a Strength check, so your Dex stat bonuses don't apply, and neither would Dex-based mythic path bonuses (Strength ones still would, of course).

Dave is right
For example, if you have Str d6+2 and Dext d10+3, when you use the Emerald of Dexterity :
You get d10+2 because it is still your Str bonuses that apply to your new die
Blessings add d10s, since they add dice and your new die is now d10
Cards that add to your Strenght add to your check because it is a Str check
Cards that add to your Dexterity do not add to your check because it isn't a Dext check
Where it's trickier it's when a card allows you to add your Str skill to the check (e. g. a item/tool card that would say "add your Str skill to your check against a card with the Obstacle trait"): IMHO your Str skill is still d6+2 when you add it.
From S&S onwards there's a clear distinction made between "skill" and "die", where "skill" includes the +n and "die" only changes the physical polyhedron rolled.
Blessings add more of the same die you're rolling. The name of the skill for purposes of skill-related bonuses is unchanged.
But, the "dexterity" trait does get added to the check which at least means you can for instance add two dice from blessings that add two dice to a dexterity check (see here). I'm not sure about mythic path bonuses since I don't actually even have WotR yet, but it would depend on whether they can only be used on "a dexterity check" or any "check with the dexterity trait".

This is actually not the case. The thread referenced specifically refers to WotR Kyra's channeling power, which is a weird case that can make something both a wisdom check and a dexterity check.
When you use an emerald of dexterity for a strength check, it's still just a strength check, not a dexterity check.

Ah, right, glad to have finally cleared that up then. It didn't make any sense to me at the time but I get now that her power works differently to the skill gems.
PS/Edit - why can I edit this post but not the earlier one? I wanted to at least edit-mark it as saying something incorrect but I can't...

Yeah, WotR Kyra is super different. Emerald of Dexterity literally just means "pretend you the size of the die you would normally use for Dexterity is also the die you are using for this other check." It doesn't make your check a Dexterity check.
