Draconomicon: Gem Dragons

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Discover the gem dragons, psionic true dragons that hail from the inner planes!

"The gem dragons are a subspecies of true dragon that are rarely encountered on the material plane, preferring as they do to dwell on the inner planes. Enough of their kind have been encountered, however, to definitively establish that they are a subcategory of dragon, like the chromatics and metallics. Like those other two groups, different types of gem dragons share many commonalities while also possessing distinct characteristics that set them apart.

Gem dragons are set apart by their physical bodies, which resemble the precious gemstones for which they are named, by their potent psionic abilities, and by the fact that they can subsist quite happily on raw elemental matter if they wish—though they are glad to have a little variety in their meals!

The patron deity of gem dragons is Sardior, who manifests as a unique ruby dragon. Most gem dragons keep their finest ruby on a pedestal in their lair to act as a shrine to their deity.
Just as there are five sets of children born to Bahamut and five to Tiamat, it is generally understood that the gem dragons that follow Sardior also number five. Yet, just as there are lost members of the chromatic family, there is a sixth variety of gem dragon. The obsidians were long ago banished from Sardior’s court for a crime lost to history."

Presented in this sourcebook are 24 monster statblocks, as well as lair actions, regional effects, and profiles for all six types of gem dragon: amethyst, crystal, emerald, sapphire, topaz, as well as the obsidians who are no longer favoured by the ruby dragon Sardior.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
