I have a character that might die so before I get a gem I want to see what happens with him first but it brought up this question for me, are gems transferable? If my character dies can I transfer the gems to the other character?
It should be compatible because of the way it is written. For instance you might get "+1 to your lowest characteristic" which could be then applied to any of your Character's attributes. Of course, you should clear everything by your Dungeon Master / GM before adding the result to your Character Sheet.
