Periodic Table of Elementals - GO!

[WickedWizard17]

Hey, remember those Titanium elementals and Chlorine elemental Redcloak used in the battle for Azure City? Well, I want to know the rules to use them in my own D&D game. My DM is way into chemistry, and I know she'd love this. So, the rules - GO!

[veti]

Well, when a Helium elemental attacks, you have to speak in a sqeaky voice for the next ten minutes.

Gold elementals have a pathological aversion to dwarfs, and will run as fast as they can from anyone sporting a beard, helmet and hammer.

When a Lithium elemental shakes hands with a Water elemental, the resulting explosion does (the smaller elemental's hit dice) in damage in a 30' radius and blinds everyone within 120'. (After 10 minutes, make a Reflex save to regain eyesight.)

[ORione]

Dragons and half-dragons are immune to the attacks of gold elementals.

[Kurald Galain]

Silver elementals have big bonuses against lycanthropes.

Unnilquentium elementals explode immedaitely when you summon them.

Neon elementals don't do anything, since they're inert.

[veti]

Neon elementals DO glow with a horrible reddish-orange colour when struck by electrical attacks.

Hydrogen elementals, in any air-filled environment, will immediately float to the top of the atmosphere, making them completely useless for any activity that requires them to be in one place for more than one round.

Flourine elementals can be used to confer a permanent +1 to bite or tusk attacks for any creature.

Silicon elementals combine fantastic mathematical ability with enormous breasts.

[Cranica]

Oxygen elementals add a size category to all fire elementals nearby.

[Procyonpi]

Flourine elementals can be used to confer a permanent +1 to bite or tusk attacks for any creature.


I don't get this one.

[Kish]

I don't get this one.
Fluoride is good for teeth.

[Indaer]

Iron elementals and Oxygen elementals have rust elemental offspring

Arsenic elementals have a poison attack against most living creatures (maybe some abominations are immune to that effect)

[Mr.Bookworm]

Plutonium elementals mean that you get to tell your players that their characters all died of cancer after the adventure.

I think someone actually did this before, though. Saw it in the homebrew section.

EDIT: Yep. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=152072)

[Aurenthal]

Iron elementals and Oxygen elementals have rust monsters offspring

Arsenic elementals have a poison attack against most living creatures (maybe some abominations are immune to that effect)

there fixed it for you

[KoboldRevenge]

Carbon, Hydrogen and oxygen combine to make a sugar compound which has a +3 bonus to persuasion via sweetness!

[rewinn]

Carbon, Hydrogen and oxygen combine to make a sugar compound which has a +3 bonus to persuasion via sweetness!

... and cancels the tooth-strengthening effect of Florine/floride elementals!

====

Meanwhile, Irony elementals cause verbal expression to have the opposite effect, e.g. Power Word Stun! becomes Power Word Awaken!

A sodium elemental and a chlorine elemental are combined in the process of creating a Nacl (also known as a Salt Lich).

A Lithium elemental grants its summoner immunity to Crushing Despair and similar mind-depressing spells.

[Hbgplayer]

Nirtrogen [spelling?] Elementals give a +2 check to all plant based attacks, and give a -2 on attacks against plants.

Einsteinium is the smartest of all elementals, with an INT score of 18.

[GSFB]

Hydrogen and Oxygen elementals combine to summon a fire elemental that is immediately dismissed by the arrival of a water elemental.

[ORione]

Hydrogen and Oxygen elementals combine to summon a fire elemental that is immediately dismissed by the arrival of a water elemental.

Which, ironically, is made out of two Hydrogen elementals and an Oxygen elemental.

Edit: Oh, that's what you were saying. Carry on.

[t209]

Sodium elemental + Chlorine Elemental = Salt Elemental

[MesiDoomstalker]

Sodium elemental + Chlorine Elemental = Salt Elemental

Only if they are both submerged in a Water Elemental first.

[Zerg Cookie]

Two hydrogen elemntals may fuse into a helium elemental and a buttload of energy

[dtilque]

Two hydrogen elemntals may fuse into a helium elemental and a buttload of energy

Actually, that would take 4 hydrogen elementals. Or two deuterium elementals.

A neodymium elemental could combine with an iron elemental to make a +10 lodestone.

[Zerg Cookie]

Actually, that would take 4 hydrogen elementals. Or two deuterium elementals.

You're right. I'm so ashamed of myself right now.

[Darth V.]

Mercury Elementals have the same attacks as water elementals but do more damage due to the greater density and have a chance of dealing explosive damage per hit, they also have a chance of exploding if hit with a fire attack which deals extra damage to the elemental but also significantly increases the damage and area of effect of the fire spell, they also do ability score damage due to toxicity.
Iron elementals are basically earth elementals with increased AC, and damage and a crapload of damage reduction.
Oxygen elementals can engulf people causing them to quickly die of oxygen poisoning, otherwise functioning similar to air elementals
Lead elementals cause ability score loss by an effect similar to poison, they are also immune to alot of magic.
Magnesium elementals have the ability to generate a blinding flash.

[Eldan]

Lead elementals used to be great artists, though, before the graphite elementals stole that from them.

Graphite elementals, by the way, turn into diamond elementals when they take enough bludgeoning and fire damage in the same round.

[Ranzear]

Wouldn't most elementals of elements that have a normally solid state instead be considered golems?

For that matter... (http://1d4chan.org/images/4/43/Neutronium_golem_page.png)

[MesiDoomstalker]

No. Golems are a result of intelligent, mortal design. Elementals are a result of.......well they are physical manifestation of pure elemental forces.

[The Pilgrim]

Helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon elementals all have the Aristrocrat NPC class added to their templates.

Uranium elementals have a +10 to diplomatic checks intended to solve social situations.

[Phishfood]

You're right. I'm so ashamed of myself right now.

or two hydrogen elementals make a smaller helium elemental

Anyhoo.

So, we have the Lead elemental which will protect you from plutonium elementals.

Then we have the Uranium (235) elementals - the only creature that mitd can win "who hits lightest" against.

<edit>

THATS what mitd is!

[Eldan]

Radium elementals glow in the dark and can always tell the local time.

[Zerg Cookie]

or two hydrogen elementals make a smaller helium elemental

I don't think that would be stable

[Hbgplayer]

Then we have the Uranium (235) elementals - the only creature that mitd can win "who hits lightest" against.

<edit>

A plutonium elemental can lose also.

Argon elemental s allow a piece of burning carbon to light up the world.

[Incom]

Copper and Silver elementals attract nearby electricity-based attacks and don't take much damage from them.

[KoboldRevenge]

Hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, carbon Elementals make a rubber monster That defects most physical attacks, and has a +9 to jump and bounce checks.

[ORione]

Copper and Silver elementals attract nearby electricity-based attacks and don't take much damage from them.

Same with gold elementals.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Fine Plantium Elementals make Air Elementals (or Hydrogen and Oxygen Elementals) into Steam Elementals.

[raymundo]

Fine Plantium Elementals make Air Elementals (or Hydrogen and Oxygen Elementals) into Steam Elementals.

Why would that be the case?

[Alagaesian]

Aluminum can withstand an understandable fire attack without taking damage and gain a lethal touch-based burning attack due to its high heat conductivity. If a fire attack causes it to reach zero hp, then it melts into a sloshy puddle that people would be fools to step in.

Note: this is why you shouldn't weld aluminum.

Or, alternatively, aluminum elementals can wrap around creatures and food items to hold them immobile while a fire elemental cooks them.

[WickedWizard17]

Lol I showed this to my DM (the one who's into chemistry) and she almost died laughing and said, "Okay, we have GOT to use these . . ." Keep going, y'all! This is fantastic. :smallbiggrin:

[MesiDoomstalker]

Why would that be the case?

Super small amounts of Platinum is a catalyst. One reaction that is catalyzed by super small amounts of platinum is the synthesis of Hydrogen and Oxygen gases into Water in the gaseous state, aka steam.

[King of Nowhere]

Noble gases elementals should be immune to acid (they don't react), electricity (electricity don't make them react), cold or heat (again, cold and heat don't make them react). Except maybe the heavier noble gases, that should only have dr against cold (they condense).

Aluminium elementals have no dr against acid, but can opnly take a limited amount of damage from those sources every round (passivation). If an aluminium elemental takes enough damage from heat, it becomes an aluminium oxide elemental.

mercurium elementals dissolve every metal item they come in contact with. Cause severe poisoning to living creatures, too.

bberillium elementals cause bleeding damage (berillium stops blood from coagulating).

diamond elementals are immune to piercing and slashing damage. Instead, the damage is dealt to the weapon. They are also immune to acid, cold and electriccity, but they are quite vulnerable to fire and bludgeoning. They are probably extinct, since no adventurer would pass up one of those.

those are the only additions i ccan come up to the old thread linked by someone before

[t209]

Only if they are both submerged in a Water Elemental first.

Then become salt water elemental; they have +5 damage to iron elemental but have little effect on Zinc Elemental.

[Hbgplayer]

Potassium elementals, while they're small, relieve mussel cramps of those around them, but mix them with water elementals, and you get a gigantic explosion and fire elemental.

[silversaraph]

The only elementals that can defeat an aluminum elemental are gallium and mercury.

Three Nitrogen elementals form an extremely unstable explosive in contact with most metal elementals.

Iodine elementals reduce the damaging affects of radioactive elementals.

[GSFB]

In any given round, there is a 1/100 chance (roll 00 on d%) that a Plutonium elemental spontaneously becomes a normal Thorium elemental and a special Helium elemental that is both immune to and unable to cast electricity effects.

[Manga Shoggoth]

Then become salt water elemental; they have +5 damage to iron elemental but have little effect on Zinc Elemental.

That's a neat solution.

[MesiDoomstalker]

That's a neat solution.

I think this is an over reaction.

TRAVEL ADVISORIES FOR THOSE SEEKING TO VISIT THE ELEMENTAL PLANES:

Do not bring large quantities of cash when travelling to the 51st Elemental Plane, due to the presence of Anti-money.

The 95th Elemental Plane is the Hotel Californium; travel there is strictly one-way.

OTOH, the 36th Element Plane is a Super place to visit.

[Pip]

Neutronium Partimentals have an apathy attack.

... but they never bother to use it.

Protonium Parimentals are always on your side.

Electonium Parimentals are always charged up, but no one can ever figure out exactly where they are.

[Dalek-K]

Neon elementals DO glow with a horrible reddish-orange colour when struck by electrical attacks.

Hydrogen elementals, in any air-filled environment, will immediately float to the top of the atmosphere, making them completely useless for any activity that requires them to be in one place for more than one round.

Flourine elementals can be used to confer a permanent +1 to bite or tusk attacks for any creature.

Silicon elementals combine fantastic mathematical ability with enormous breasts.

Florine is only good for baby teeth, to much will actually weaken and destroy adult teeth. This is why you don't want to get Florine treatments, use Florine toothpaste, and drink public drinking water (waaay to much Florine in that).

:)

Thorium Elementals would have tons of potential energy (maybe you can siphon their energy some way and make it arcane energy for more spells) but are not good weapons

(Look up thorium reactors btw) :)

[fibonacciseries]

If a Magnesium Elemental is hit with a fire attack, everyone needs to make a DC 15 Reflex save or be blinded for 10 rounds.

[werik]

A sodium elemental and a chlorine elemental are combined in the process of creating a Nacl (also known as a Salt Lich).

Of course, if you get a Huge Sodium Elemental and a Huge Chlorine Elemental together they form a Great Salt Lich.

[Phishfood]

Hydrogen and Flourine Elementals combine to form a lethal acid attack that instantly dissolves all equipment and thus can not be blocked. People who die to this attack are buried in a mop bucket.

[Eldan]

Radon elementals can hide inside earth elementals. If locked in small rooms, they produce clouds that deal constitution damage.

[warmachine]

Such elementals have a variety of useful properties, as demonstrated by Redcloak, but risks the attention of certain, elder gods, particularly Aristotle, who fear the resurrection of the terrible Mendeleyev. Alchemy, principally shaped by Aristotle, is a mess but is free from the tyranny of accuracy, consistency and completeness, which suppresses magic. The historic battle between Aristotle and Mendeleyev was for the very laws of the cosmos and Aristotle was losing badly until the strange god, Gygax, from another cosmos, pummelled Mendeleyev into non-existence. That is why Gygax is revered by all.

[MesiDoomstalker]

Of course, if you get a Huge Sodium Elemental and a Huge Chlorine Elemental together they form a Great Salt Lich.

This has been stated before, and I'll state it again. Only if meet inside a Colossal Water Elemenetal!

I think mendeleyev won, but gygax saved aristotle by making him escape to an alternate dimension where he could survive.

Urainium elementals set off a 500ft explosion when killed.

Florine is only good for baby teeth, to much will actually weaken and destroy adult teeth. This is why you don't want to get Florine treatments, use Florine toothpaste, and drink public drinking water (waaay to much Florine in that).

:)

In any case, it would have to be a fluoride paraelemental that would grant the bite-attack enhancement.

A fluorine elemental would instead bestow the OMGIMDYINGHORRIBLY!!! status effect.

[Savil]

It's even nastier when you add organic chemistry to the mix. :smallsmile:

...Day 16. Venturing further into Alchemist Paradise Plane. Today we encountered a Protein Elemental, looted 3d6 food rations from it.
Day 17. Ambushed by a group of Lipid Elementals. Girls failed their Will saves and ran away screaming. Weird. I didn't even feel an Intimidate check.
Day 18. Our scout reported a couple of Alcohol Elementals ahead. That's probably an easy fight.
Day ???. Ugh, my head... What is this place?

When Nitrogen, Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Carbon Elementals interact, they create Giants with unsually high Int and Cha as well as max ranks in Perform (Educational Song). And regular elephants.

[rewinn]

Of course, if you get a Huge Sodium Elemental and a Huge Chlorine Elemental together they form a Great Salt Lich.... on the border between the Sodium and Chlorine Planes, there probably is a Salt Lich City.

A secondary effect of contact with alkali elementals (Li et al) is that they automatically give you their valence electron, causing you to take a -1 penalty on all rolls. The alkaline earth elementals are even worse, they give you two electrons and give you a -2 penalty.

Krypton elementals are very strong, very fast, very damage resistant, can fly, and can disguise themselves as ordinary humans simply by putting on a pair of glasses.
However, they lose all of their powers when in close proximity to each other. Also, nobody really likes having them in their game, because they're too powerful.

I'm pretty sure they'd use helium elementals. Y'know, seeing as they're less likely to go 'BOOM!' when struck by lightning or exposed to fire.

I am intrigued, Please explain.

[TaRix]

Sadly, it'll only summon the Adam West Batman, if a bard is doing the combining.

Let's see... a sulfur elemental would be interesting. Normally, it'd just provide a diplomacy penalty to all but demonkind (bad smell, but reminds netherfolk of home), but combined with other elementals... water and air would make a corrosive attack.
A fire elemental would either ignite or melt (or very well both) the thing, sacrificing the elemental for a vicious stinky napalm attack.

It could also become a component for a big fireball spell.

[Wanda V'Orcus]

A lithium elemental negates a barbarian's rage ability within a 20-foot radius...

If I know my batman at all, I think it would require 16 total.

One must make a DC 15 fortitude save or be nauseated for 1d6 rounds when near a sulfur elemental.

Platinum elementals are extremely rare, heavy, and are worth an extreme amount of money if killed and sold.

[KoboldRevenge]

[Chuck Peirce]

Well, when a Helium elemental attacks, you have to speak in a sqeaky voice for the next ten minutes.

The counterpoint to a helium elemental would be a sulphur hexafluoride (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaKDLWsWfSM) elemental. It's a compound, I realize, but if "air" is an element, sulphur hexafluoride elementals should be allowed for the sake of the joke.

Xenon also works for this, and it has the benefit of not being a major greenhouse gas.

[Chuck Peirce]

Xenon also works for this, and it has the benefit of not being a major greenhouse gas.

Woo, nice. One of xenon's isotopes is also a major fission product poison.

What are the rules for specifying isotope? A competent wizard observing the fissioning of a U-235 or Pu-239 elemental should be allowed the opportunity to counter the reaction (pending a successful Knowledge: Radionuclides check) by casting Summon Xe-235 elemental as a free action, since the fissioning produces Xe-235, and Xe-235 poisons the fissioning. Success would indicate that the Xe-235 elemental absorbed enough of the neutrons to make the other elemental's reaction occur subcritically (i.e.: without a "kaboom" of any significance), and the end result would be a Xe-236 elemental under the control of the wizard doing the countering. A failed knowledge check would summon a fission product with a smaller cross-section for neutron absorption, determined randomly according to the usual bimodal distribution of fission products for whichever elemental was fissioning.

Quick question for the OP: when you said your DM was a chemistry buff, did that include nuclear physics?

Boron Elemental. Explains its own properties very very slowly, and in excruciating detail.

Manganese Elemental can't make its own mind up about how positive it's going to be, but is always a fetching purple colour.

The Polonium Elemental was due to appear, but was summoned behind a curtain in the Queen's bedroom and got stabbed by the prince.

Phosphorous Elemental. Keep away from sparks and open flames.

That table's pretty nice, but I think it could use a few tweaks. (and what can't?)
For example, the same reaction with water is used for all the Alkali Metals; which is fine for simplicity, but I think it needs scale to the element. (As in, Lithium merely burns, while Caesium or Francium explodes.)

I think I might start a(nother) homebrew thread for this. :smalltongue:

If you can't Helium or Curium, you Barium!

Molbydenum elementals are the only living elementals, can Raise Dead at will, and slaying one causes an existential crisis.

Fluoride is good for teeth.

Only to a very limited extent. Past a certain dosage, you get absolutely zero benefits, and very quickly begin having negative effects. Which is why adding fluoride to the water supply when we already have so much coming from various foods, from toothpaste, mouthwash, etc is an extremely bad idea, not just from a health standpoint but from an operational standpoint since dosing with fluoride is both extremely dangerous AND will add extra things like extra amounts of sodium to the water, because of the compounds you have to make in order to be able to dose with fluoride to begin with...

But I digress. Carry on.

Yes, "flooring" and "flourine" sound quite a bit alike if you soften the terminal "G".

BTW the Flooring Element's opposite would be a small carbon elemental, a.k.a. a "C-ling".

[Tass]

Yes, "flooring" and "flourine" sound quite a bit alike if you soften the terminal "G".

It does? :smallconfused:

I pronounce the first vowel of fluorine like in "poor" or "moo". I pronounce floor differently despite it having two 'o's. (And for the record the ending of the word like the ending of "brine")

But english is not my native language, I just would never have guessed that english speakers pronounced it like "florin'" and therefore I didn't get the pun.

[Willis888]

On a critical miss, Osmium elementals will crash into ground, shatter, and need to be re-summoned.

Bismuth elementals can spontaneously cast Divine and Arcane spells with caster level equal to their hit dice.

Argon elementals wear eye-patches.

[Zubrowka74]

Two Nitrogen elementals will combine with one Oxygen elemental to form the Sweet Air Elemental wich has a permanent Tasha's Uncontrollable Hideous Laughter area of effect centered arount it.

[TaRix]

A Gallium elemental is liquid at body temperature yet solid at room temperature. So, with a reasonably-distanced torch (which all dungeoneers carry, right?) and a good pair of impermeable gloves (gallium's toxic, like mercury), it can be molded into a convincing likeness of any metallic grey item. Great for hiding in an armory or for replacing a silver idol.

A silver elemental, useful for fighting whatever sort of evil silver stuff affects, is also the most reflective elemental. When freshly summoned, it can reflect whatever light is available to attempt to blind foes or light up more shadowy nooks. This wears off as tarnish sets in, but can be refreshed with the right polishes or alchemical treatments.

[Threeshades]

Hydrogen elementals, in any air-filled environment, will immediately float to the top of the atmosphere, making them completely useless for any activity that requires them to be in one place for more than one round.


Wouldn't they also violently burst into flame and immediately burn up?


Potassium elementals, while they're small, relieve mussel cramps of those around them, but mix them with water elementals, and you get a gigantic explosion and fire elemental.

A sizable explosion, but by no means gigantic.

I'll give you a hint: It is.

Bismuth elementals can be converted into 2 gp in a process that costs 200,000 gp and 16 years. They can also detect big fires by melting.

Edit: Oops, someone already used the "philosopher's stone".

[Kish]

It does? :smallconfused:

I pronounce the first vowel of fluorine like in "poor" or "moo".
I don't know anyone who pronounces "poor" and "moo" with the same, or even a terribly similar, vowel sound in real life.

[KoboldRevenge]

Well it's come to this.

I'd tell you a chemical joke but all the good ones have already been used...
What? :smalltongue:

[harhau]

Osmium elementals are the densest and most durable of the elementals, making it hit very hard but move slowly and have a poison gas aura that smell bad
Iridium elementals is almost as powerful as osmium, except that it is colorful insteand of dull gray, and do not have the poison gas aura
Palladium may absorb 900 hydrogen elementals of the same size

Unnilseptium Golem disintegrates within one round, causing massive radiation damage. Kill it in one turn for lots of XP.

Cinnabar Golems explode through walls shouting "Oh YEAAAAAH" before clobbering you to death.

Looks like the periodic table of elements just got that much bigger:

To be fair, they are pretty much useless as Elementals. :smallyuk:

[Raimun]

Bilver elementals have high DR that can't be bypassed.

Also, since Fire Elementals are Elementals, there should be other elemental chemical reactions.

Like Explosion Elementals. They are continous explosions taken form. Anyone within certain distance is deafed, takes damage from (continous) blast waves and is pushed back. Anyone touching an Explosion Elemental takes 10d6 damage, ref saves.
