Homebrew Crystal Gem 2.0 Species Details
The crystal gems were created when a powerful being embedded their energy into four select diamonds, these diamonds became sentient and were so powerful that they too were able to create beings by giving life to different gems and sending them out to different planes of existence.

Self-Sufficient
Each Gem knows their station and duties and honor demands maintaining the bounds of that position.
A continual drive for self-improvement reflects the self-sufficiency of the race as a whole. They value skill and excellence in all endeavors. They hate to fail, and they push themselves to extreme efforts before they give up on something.
Though all Gemsstrive to be self-sufficient, they recognize that help is sometimes needed in difficult situations. But the best source for such help is the clan, and when a clan needs help, it turns to another Gem before seeking aid from other races—or even from the gods.
Fusion: Any Gem is capable of fusing with another Gem. They count as one size larger than the biggest Gem in the Fushion. Their AC is equally to both characters AC ( without armor) + the highest constitutionmodifer. Their Hit Points is equally to both characters Hit die (both players must roll their hit die separate)+ both profiency modifers+ the highest DEX mod.
