A thief nimbly steps past drunken man-orc guards after prying a giant ruby from the eye of a statue with his dagger (Don Greer, Down in the Dungeon, Squadron/Signal Publications, 1981). This looks like a nod to Trampier's iconic AD&D Players Handbook cover, also referenced by Holloway in I3: Pharaoh.

POV: He's mean to you at the bar He's my D&D OC Kal (he(him), here's some lore about him <3: He's a satyr born in the Feywild, with emerald gem dragonborn ancestry, who never felt like he fit there, so he left for the human world, where his gem dragon abilities rose to make him a medium capable of contacting the spirits.

He liked it there, but he never fit either because of his looks. He made the "strange and surprising" appearance a whole persona, a façade of excentricity to hide away his loneliness. But then a big betrayal happened, that made him think about finally maybe abandoning this world in defeat.

That's most of his premise until I get to play more as him as see where it goes or what does he decide to do in the end 👁️

My players were exploring a dwarven mine whose patron ancient silver dragon got bored and tried moving the whole lair into the Elemental Plane of Earth.

We've got some crystal beasts from the Plane of Earth, an ancient silver dragon (finally), some crafty silver kobolds, a gem hurler (variant of the ice elemental), rusty iron automaton, and the geyser elemental from The Elements and Beyond.

We had a viewer in our Twitch chat who wanted something for her DnD campaign that was similar to the Soul Coins in Baldur's Gate 3, but that had some connection to eyes. We are always happy to deliver!

Soul Eye GemWondrous Item, very rare

“A multi-colored gem that looks like an eye. The gruesome truth is that at one point it was, before the owner made a deal and had their soul sealed inside of it. A true window to the soul. They’re coveted and highly sought after by devils and demons alike.”

If you have one of these magic items in your possession you make death saving throws at advantage.

You can use an action to destroy this item and gain protection from death. The first time you fall to 0 hit points as a result of taking damage, you instead drop to 1 hit point, and the effect ends. Curse. If you take part in a ritual to create your own Soul Eye Gem, one of your eyes crystallizes and falls out. If you die and your Soul Eye Gem is in possession of another creature, you cannot be resurrected without it.

Join us on Twitch every Mon\Wed\Fri to create new Homebrews and check out our Patreon for 464+ magic items, tokens, maps, and more.

Gemstone golems, also called gem golems, were beautiful but deadly automatons created from various precious gems. The three most common forms of gemstone golem included those made from rubies, emeralds, and diamonds.

“We have discovered that Zulkir Thrul's gemstone golems do indeed exist, and they are highly resistant to the magic of Rashemen. Even if we manage to defeat the Thayans, it may be at such a terrible cost that we will be helpless against their next attack.” — Nythra of the Seven Rivers, a witch of Rashemen

Owing to having the appearance of being carved from glittering precious stone, the average gemstone golem had a decidedly more delicate and agile look than the average golem. This was deceiving, however, as a gemstone golem could easily weight up to 3,000 pounds (1,400 kilograms).

Each type of gemstone golem was said to embody the power of that specific stone's gem magic, a lost and imprecise form of the Art:

Ruby golems were said to embody healing and the powers of earth

Emerald golems were said to embody teleportation magic and were able to open gates

Diamond golems were said to embody perfection

However, just as gemstones may be flawed, so too were gemstone golems, and these flaws led them to diverge from the intentions of their creators and the powers which they were intended to embody.

By the 14th century DR, gemstone golems were controlled almost exclusively by the Red Wizards of Thay, although many had since gone somewhat rogue, wandering the lands to fulfill partial or garbled versions of ancient commands. And it was not uncommon to find them in Mulhorand's Land of the Dead, acting as guardians of the various pharaohs' tombs.

Creation of a gemstone golem did not require that the entire body be carved out of a certain precious stone, as was a widely believed myth. Instead, the golem could be cobbled together from many semi-precious stones, however the golem's "heart" did need to be a large and valuable specimen of ruby, emerald, or diamond. This heart became the magical locus of the golem's construction, and could cause the other component materials to meld into a facsimile of the same gemstone. If the creation process failed, the heart would be lost but other materials could be reclaimed to try again.

A gemstone golem would collapse into a pile of rough cut precious gems and powder when slain. The gems were quite valuable and the powder could be used by wizards for spell components.

The first recorded creation of a gemstone golem was by the god-kings of Mulhorand. The secrets to their construction was lost for centuries, until in the Year of the Banner, 1368 DR, when the Red Wizard Zulkir Aznar Thrul discovered the ancient Mulhorand manuals that detailed the process of their creation. He went about unleashing them upon the Rashemaar, against whom they proved highly effective as they were largely resistant to the Wychlaran's spells as well as Rashemen's natural magics.

Thrul also experimented with creating golems from gemstones other than diamonds, emeralds, or rubies but the results were always mixed. The original means of crafting gemstone golems was only half-remembered, and there was reason to believe that Thruls modern methods were based on a misunderstanding of the original Mulhorandi texts. A number of Thrul's notes and texts were kept in the library of the Chambers of Twin Burnings.

After a few successful raids which left no survivors among the Rashemaar, Thrul prepared for a major assault. He prepared to amass a force of 100 gemstone golems by Nightal 15 for use by his allies, the Zulkirs Lauzoril and Nevron, to lead against them, with the ultimate goal being to win prestige in their ongoing efforts to undermine Szass Tam. However, the Simbul intercepted a document which detailed both the plan as well as the gemstone golems' weakness, namely that they required a circle of a dozen wizards to maintain control over them. She entrusted this information to a group of adventurers, who rushed to aid the Rashemaar The gemstone golems clashed with the Rashemaar in the Battle of the Gorge at the Gorge of Gauros. As the golems crashed through enemy lines, their command circle, led by Zulkir Nevron himself, was broken (although it was unclear whether this was because of efforts by the adventurers or thanks to Tam loyalists within the circle), and the entire gemstone golem army was freed of their control.

Soon after, Thrul found that we was not able to control his remaining army of gemstone golems either, and they too broke away, scattering across Faerûn via the gating abilities of the emerald golems. By the Year of Wild Magic, 1372 DR, they wandered the land as semi-independent constructs, many still following faint echoes of their last commands.
