Diamond Dragon

(PRESTIGE CLASS)
Not all draconic secrets are about magic. In addition to the well-known chromatic and metallic true dragons, there are the gem dragons. Clinging more closely to neutrality, these beasts of crystal and thought are masters of the power of the mind, rather than of arcane forces. Much as sages believe the better-known dragons were the first to harness arcane magic, psionic scholars think the gem dragons were the first to unlock the vast potential of the mind. The boldest of them study the link between gem dragons and psionics, learning to tap into what they refer to as the "draconic psionic collective." They see themselves as drawing power from psionic dragon energy and call themselves diamond dragons, after the rarest of gemstones.
