This gem is a magical enhancement that can be attached to an Steel Defender to enhance it in some way, however it must be attuned by the Steel Defender. Some gems are consumed by the attunement process, and the others only grant their benefit while the Steel Defender remains attuned to that gem. Other standard attunement rules apply. Additionally, the Steel Defender gains a +1 enhancement bonus to its attacks for each gem currently attuned (to a maximum of +3) and its attacks are considered magical.
Tactics: The Steel Defender learns 2 combat maneuvers from the Battlemaster subclass, and gains 2 superiority dice (d8).
Toughness: The Steel Defender gains maximum HP equal to its creator's CON modifier multiplied by their character's overall level.
Fey Presence: The Steel Defender may cast the spell Misty Step twice per day without components.
Enhancement: The Steel Defender gains 2 points which may be added to any attributes of its creator's choice, up to a maximum of 20. This gem is destroyed once the attunement process is complete, and this bonus is permanent.
Elemental Imbuement: The Steel Defender's attacks are imbued with elemental power corresponding to the gem. Its attacks gain an additional 2d6 damage of the gem's elemental type.
Reactionary: The Steel Defender can take 2 reactions per round, instead of just one.
