Periodic Table of Elements

[Melcar]

Hi guys...

I was wondering if there existed a periodic table or a list of know elements that exist within the D&D/FR cosmology. I'm avare, that since plannar travel is possible I could use the real one, but I'm more interested in a game version if this is actually something that exists. Does anyone know?

Specifically, I'm looking for some very heavy/dense which could be used to create a singularity as in a black hole. I know that this is impossible, since the earth would have to be crushed down into something like a peanut, for this to happen, so I could neaver have enough to actually do this, but I seem to remember that the math behind it allow for such a thing even at small amounts of mass. Since this is D&D, I'm thinking that this might be possible with some heavy magic.

Can anyone help?

Leave those poor catgirls alone you monster :smallfrown:

No seriously though, real physics and game physics don't play well when you start digging below the surface.

And here I thought you were going to ask for stats on the Titanium and Chlorine Elementals. Irridium Elemental would be fun, not going to lie...

Air, Earth, Fire and Water — these are the elements in play.
OK, there are para and quasi elements also — and maybe positive and negative too.

As for a periodic table — well we have the inner wheel of planes.

As to the real physics, if you want a black hole the size of a peanut (actually more like a grape, but close enough), you'll need a mass equal to the Earth, no matter what material you start with. Black holes don't care about details like that.

I've always used the Alchemical Elements for D&D: Air, Earth, Fire, Water, and Aether (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_%28classical_element%29) (essentially, Magic, or Quintessence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintessence_%28physics%29), depends on who you ask, especially to those nutters that believe in Magic... Err, String Theory* :p).

Eh, it's really not that easy to tell the difference between the string model and magic. Well, beyond the fact that magic has rules it follows and known limits.

Last time I checked there were more string theories than there are schools of magic and they both had as much empirical basis.

What technology level is your game? If it's standard Renaissance or earlier I don't see why one would exist. Our periodic table came about because someone was trying to learn their students something about chemistry. Now, I can see a mage doing this as well, but I don't see it corresponding to ours.

If you want to make a blackhole why not just open a gate to the Far Realms, it can take care of any thing you need a black hole for.


Slowly as the catgirls lay dying, the catmen began looking for something they could further their species with. And Lo! In the distance there was a Wailord whalegirl.

Well its pretty low tech, but I know that a lot of different metals are know. Iron, Lead, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Obdurium... Mithral, Adamantine, and some alchemical compositions are there aswell, so I kind of thought that someone would have collected them in a periodic table by now... knowing the communities to be quite the nerds :smallbiggrin: myself included....

Good point, but for all we know Obdurium, Mithral, Adamantine, ... are alloys ?
