Titanium elementals?

[Lord of Syntax]

Where are they?

[Blue Ghost]

The Elemental Plane of Titanium, I presume?

[Brendan]

normally? they aren't real. it was a joke about lack of real physics in dnd. However, if they were real, does anyone know the statistics for one?

[Lord of Syntax]

I remember them in the comic.

[CrimsonAngel]

I remember them in the comic.

Good job. They were.

[slayerx]

Where are they?

Well summoned monsters only stay for a short while...
They are good during a fight, but they would not last long enough to be guards or anykind of lasting force

[zimmerwald1915]

If you're just looking for a cite, they appear in 423 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0423.html) and 424 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0424.html). If you're looking for them in a monster book, I can't really help you, as I don't own any. But they were probably a one-off gag for the comic and don't actually exist in any monster books, official or otherwise.

[BRC]

Where are they?
Behind you!

But seriously, what are you asking.

What comics feature Titanium Elementals?
Zimmerwald just posted them.
Where in-comic are they?
V dismissed them, so they are probably back in the elemental plane of titanium, or wherever else Redcloak summoned them from.
What DnD book are they in?
None as far as I know. I think Rich made them up in order to make a joke.

[Lord of Syntax]

I was looking for that comic, thanks.

As strong as Earth Elementals, but 40% lighter (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0423.html)

[Zxo]

It wasn't a one-off, there was a Chlorine elemental (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0457.html) too, so we may see more of the periodic table in the future. I'm looking forward to it, so many possibilities...

[Ancalagon]

I'm looking forward to it, so many possibilities...

What possibility? The >15 kg 235-U elemental? The >8 kg 239-PU elemental? You really don't want to be near the place where you summon those...

There was a Magnesium elemental as well mentioned in the first compilation book, in one of the "extra" strips.

[Nimrod's Son]

It was in No Cure for the Paladin Blues, the second compilation book. And it wasn't just mentioned, it actually appeared.

Why do you talk about boring magnesium when you can talk about nuclear chain reactions? ;)

[Scarlet Knight]

Titanium elementals are a simply "pure-blood" minority from the Plane of earth...:smallwink:

[Optimystik]

What I find interesting is that V seems to be as knowledgeable as Redcloak concerning chemistry. Not only did he correctly identify the elementals, (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0424.html) he also referenced "an ideal gas" (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0296.html) earlier.

DstP bonus strip:
V tells Elan that baby Water elementals are born when one Oxygen elemental pairs together with two Hydrogen elementals, with the strip showing the pairing.

Well, they do have their (abbreviated) name and atomic number/mass on them so maybe V also "got passing grades in chem."

[Wikimaster]

Someone should go to the Crack Pairings Thread for this.

[Sereg]

A while back, there was a thread for homebrewing these "alternative elementals". I'll see if I can find it.

EDIT: Here we go

[Teddy]

Well, would I ever read a crack paring story about the creation of just about any polymeric molecule, I'm sure that my brain would implode from the rapid brain cell decay.

Copernicium elemental!

[EmperorSarda]

Are fire elementals formed by throwing a lit match on hydrogen elementals?

Can you summon Carbon Monoxide elementals?

[Dr.Epic]

They're not called "Reactionals" you know. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0423.html)

[Snake-Aes]

That would actually be the conjuring version of a fireball.

[multilis]

When they aren't being summoned for battle, Titanium elementals tend to hang out with their buddies the Chlorine elementals in their home, eating snacks on the periodic table.

[Studoku]

Can you summon Carbon Monoxide elementals?

They're not called compoundals either.

[Kiayateo]

Got bored at work. Its decent, but I could probably do better given some time.

Immune to acid? I summon an Aqua Regia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqua_regia) Solutional to prove you wrong.

[Keshay]

But, in the very first paragraph of that article it specifically states that Titanium is resistant to Aqua regia.

[Teddy]

But, in the very first paragraph of that article it specifically states that Titanium is resistant to Aqua regia.

Hmm, well, the Swedish verson told me that Iridium is the only metal which isn't at least partially affected by it, and it is more straightforward written, but it mentions Ruthenium instead of Tantalum, Osmium and Titanium as a resistant metal. Perhaps an acid resistance up the wazoo would fit better than just immunity, and perhaps I should read the English Wikipedia-pages too before I link them...

[The Succubus]

Why do you tell us these things?

As for Ununoctium, a noble solid?

[factotum]

Key things: Harder and lighter than an earth elemental, immune to acid, vulnerable to fire (at over 800F pure titanium loses tensile strength).

Non-magical fire would be unlikely to get as high as 800F, though--you're not going to soften titanium in a camp fire!

[Tass]

Eh? 800F thats only like 400C. An ordinary bonfire readily reaches 1000C in the center.

[Andvare]

I know it wasn't an elemental, but the Radiant Golem from Spelljammer was awesome. Well, perhaps not awesome, but definitely special (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_retardation).
And all they wanted was to be your friend, and give friendly hugs.

Anyone done the stats on a Bilver elemental ?

426°C actually. Candles beat that to 1000°C

No, mine's different. In Zan's picture, RC already has his eyepatch, therefore they aren't children.

Maybe young RC though an eyepatch would make him look mysterious (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0502.html).:smallbiggrin:

I can imagina such pair being quite consumed by their fiery passion for each other.

Here's another suggestion: Sodium/Chloride OTP!

Edit: Also, I liked the pun in the previous post. Give me more!

[Nimrod's Son]

It's AU. "Dumped on the Rooster" by Water-Smurf. As far as I can recall chemistry class hasn't come up yet.

Sodium elementals would be fun.

Throw at match at that bad boy, and fzzzt..!

[doodthedud]

I was looking for that comic, thanks.

I find your name ironic now.

[the humanity]

I shudder at the thought of a Francium elemental.

everything it does is an explosion. it's a walking bullrush/shrapnel machine. and when you kill it, it blows up again. if you cast any water or ice spells, it destroys you.

and that would be the small one.

[Ancalagon]

I shudder at the thought of a Francium elemental.

You shudder for the wrong reasons. Francium is radioactive. I seriously hope you don't got your knowledge from that fake show "Brainiac". ;)

[the humanity]

radioactive? a few little warpings in 3 days and a painful aura? a first level adventurer could make the saves against cancer, I'm sure.

I got my information from a chemistry professor. I then later watched Braniac when curious about what he said.

not sure how accurate that was, but it was quite fun to watch.

[Ancalagon]

Accuracy: They used dynamite (or whatever) because the real alkalimetals didn't have enough punch. You can even see the cables that lead to the bathtubs in a few shots.

Francium is highly radioactive, it has a half-life of some 20 minutes (means it's very(!) active) and there is very, very, very little in existence at any time*. The biggest mass that has been created in a lab was like 10.000 atoms or so.

* edit: Wikipedia says around 30 g in the entire earth's crust! The 20 minutes I talked about also was the half-life of the longest living isotope, other isotopes decay even faster (and thus radiate more intense)!

To add even more fun facts about Francium:

Francium is the worlds absolutely most expensive element.

Francium is used to start the fission in an nuclear reactor (Hence why there even is a demand for it).

There is one in an NCftPB bonus strip.

[warrl]

Do not hit those things with fire spells. It's just bad news.

Also, keep the Lithium elementals away from water. (Sodium too, I think.)

[warrl]

What possibility? The >15 kg 235-U elemental? The >8 kg 239-PU elemental? You really don't want to be near the place where you summon those...

Uranium elementals are not really a problem, as long as you don't let them become wealthy. Ordinary uranium is just a rather heavy, mildly radioactive metal; enriched uranium overheats. Fortunately, it is very difficult to make your uranium elementals sufficiently wealthy to make a nuclear explosion possible - and even then it takes a lot of effort to stop the uranium from melting, boiling, and thus spreading itself around sufficiently to avoid such an explosion.

The plutonium elementals would be more of a problem.

I don't know where a radium elemental would fit in this (but it would be easy to spot at night).
