What would you do with Sovereign Glue?

[NRSASD]

Sovereign Glue is truly wondrous stuff. Anything adhered with it is stuck until some Universal Solvent is applied, and no amount of force or magic can change that. What are some of the more creative/entertaining/bizarre uses you've come up with this lovely material, real or hypothetical.

To get the ball rolling:

1. Glue two cats together back-to-back and discover anti-gravity.
2. Weaponize a child's game and apply it to an Iron Golem's hands and order it to play patty cake with your foes.
3. Create an impossible bridge by gluing logs end to end across the Grand Canyon.

[Kelb_Panthera]

Impregnate sheets of fabric to make a nigh-indestructable fiberglass-like material.

[goto124]

5. Throw a vial of Sovereign Glue into the mouth of a Tarrasque.

[Mastikator]

Impregnate sheets of fabric to make a nigh-indestructable fiberglass-like material.

Then make a rope out of this infinitely strong material and use it to make a space elevator. Then begin the path that leads to me as the leader of the space empire.

[Ninja_Prawn]

6. Glue *anything* to an Immovable Rod, make *anything* immovable.

[Mr. Mask]

Just checking, lets say you glued someone's thumbs together. Could they get them apart by ripping off the skin, or by cutting off the thumbs, or is the magic glue trickier than that (that was the problem of police ideas for glue instead of handcuffs)?

[DigoDragon]

Just checking, lets say you glued someone's thumbs together. Could they get them apart by ripping off the skin, or by cutting off the thumbs, or is the magic glue trickier than that (that was the problem of police ideas for glue instead of handcuffs)?

I generally think of crazy glue for situations like that. You could rip off the skin to separate the thumbs. Probably hurt, but hey, it's thumbthing.


An idea I came up with as a DM-- use magic to pour out the contents of the bottle in air and let the sovereign glue harden into a ball shape. Now, fire that ball out of a cannon. Indestructible cannon ammo?

[Mr. Mask]

it is thumbthing:smallbiggrin:

Interestingly, that was an argument for using stone cannonballs. They smashed on impact--so the enemy wouldn't fire them back at you. Iron cast cannonballs were apparently figured to be fairly reusable.

[Strigon]

[Millstone85]

3. Create an impossible bridge by gluing logs end to end across the Grand Canyon.
Just checking, lets say you glued someone's thumbs together. Could they get them apart by ripping off the skinI would also expect the weight of the bridge to tear the logs apart, not from each other but internally.


Impregnate sheets of fabric to make a nigh-indestructable fiberglass-like material.Much better.

[DigoDragon]

Interestingly, that was an argument for using stone cannonballs. They smashed on impact--so the enemy wouldn't fire them back at you. Iron cast cannonballs were apparently figured to be fairly reusable.

Considering how far an iron cannonball could travel through your infantry, I don't know if it's worth the effort to go retrieve it. Well, I suppose you could in between engagements.

So how about a cannonball designed to explode on impact and it's filled with sovereign glue? Upon hitting infantry anything not immediately killed by the impact and/or shrapnel is now stuck to each other, to the shrapnel, to their equipment, to the ground...

[Mr. Mask]

Millstone: If the glue is just invincibly sticky, and doesn't magically bind things so that even cutting them off won't save you, then yeah, it wouldn't actually be that useful for most applications. You could replace bolts and screws for certain takes, but only if you can get the glue over enough connecting surface area to lend as much support as the bolt. It'd also be dangerous enough that most people wouldn't want to make use of it.



Digo: The main worry was your enemy picking them up and shooting them back at you. You could retrieve the cannonballs after the battle, but prior to that, yeah, there in't really a chance.

Sovereign glue probably isn't worth the expense, you're better off with some more gunpowder and shrapnel. It does require the enemy surgeons to come up with some complex medical procedures where they skin off the top layer of skin, or just wait a couple of weeks for the skin to die and fall off with the glue. Also, the only armour you'd need against it would be a outer layer of clothing, making it less effective than shrapnel.

[Eldan]

Combine several in this thread!

Cut someone open, then use sovereign glue to affix an immovable rod to a vital organ, then close them back up.

[goto124]

But if you can cut the person up, why do to that trouble? Why not just stab those vital organs?

[Eldan]

Research? Fun? Torture?

[Mr. Mask]

Well, that's not really that different from drawing and quartering. Just that you stop at drawing, and what you affix the organs to may as well be immovable for the person involved.

That's technically water, you know. Unless you really mean a universal solvent, in which case, yikes, that's like the world's strongest acid (we haven't worked out what we can store the bloody thing in) but slightly tamer, assuming it's not a fast-acting universal solvent.

I love this idea, and have a friend who would abuse this glue to no ends.

You know, if you live in a country where the entire ruling country is bards and you allow bastards to inherit then you can crank out the stuff as fast as you can make the mourning period turnover at first, and 9 months a unit later on. Could eventually glue the entire world in place.

I would go around gluing sovereigns together, of course.

Are you mad?

There's only one thing to do with Sovereign Glue, and that is put a crown on it, assemble a court full of other (lesser) glues and find some unsuspecting duchy for them to conquer!

[NRSASD]

@Anonymouswizard- Yep, water is the universal solvent but not the Universal Solvent, which is the multiverse's scariest acid. Luckily, it comes in little packets that are completely inert unless you add water.

@Millstone- You're probably right. But still...

Plus, at this point so many nonpolar molecules are in such heavy use that the term seems a bit dated. Prior to the existence of huge petrochemical industries, heavily used organic synthesis including lots of nonpolar steps and absolutely requiring lots of non-water solvents, and a few other things the term made a lot more sense.

[Grim Portent]

Glue coins to the street and laugh as passerby try to pick them up.

If it interacts with liquids properly, this could be a fun way to make perpetually oily or wet surfaces. Take a bunch of canvas, glue one side of it. Then, run water or oil over the other side of the glue, making an extremely thin film that goes nowhere. Other water or oil should then attach over it easily enough.

If it goes nowhere, would not that be a solid? Like, if it cannot move why would it still be slick?

Obviously every level 20+ dungeon needs to be made entirely out of sovereign glue, and have anti teleportation measures

That's correct, since it should stick to itself it will be the perfect construction material, don't ask me how I got that much, these things just happen

[Steampunkette]

What would I do with Sovereign Glue?

Sell it to a research laboratory.

I'd do a live demonstration on National News as to Sovereign Glue's infinite resilience, probably using two powerful trucks trying to pull apart a couple of pieces of chain that were glued together.

Then I'd take it to the research lab, sell it to people MUCH smarter than me so they can figure out how to make more of it, and spend the rest of my life with lots of money as a group of scientists came up with a hundred and one uses for the stuff.

[Knaight]

If it goes nowhere, would not that be a solid? Like, if it cannot move why would it still be slick?

The lowermost fluid layer would basically be solid. The upside to this is that a thin layer will essentially pull more to it, making an easily produced liquid layer around the base object, even if the base object would repel the liquid in question.

Decent superglue kind of is this in a fantasy world. Superglue sticks nearly any material other than polyethylene, polypropylene, PTFE and other inert plastics. These are not common in your average Middle-Earth-type world. Furthermore, its best dissolved by acetone, which again is not likely to be common.

[Fri]

Sovereign glue is more than simple superglue. It basically bonds two materials into one permanently for practical purpose. Sovereign gluing a mug onto your hand? Congratulation, that mug is part of your hand now. At least that's my interpretation of the item.

Sovereign glue is magical. It binds any two materials together completely regardless of what they are. It can only be dissolved by the equally magical universal solvent which is capable of dissolving any adhesive regardless of the nature of the adhesive.

Thing is with a superglue, it needs a full minute to stick. And whatever you glue together, tge way it holds will always depend on the strength of the material involved before being ripped appart.

For example, if you were to glue a golem's feet to the ground, its only a question of time before he either tears his own feet off or tears a piece of the ground away.

Ill have to think about it...

[TheCountAlucard]

The text of the item describes the glue as "worthless" and having lost its stickiness if the glued items are pulled apart before the glue sets; as such, I don't think one could impregnate fabrics with it to make indestructible materials - either it continues to be sticky until the fabric touches something (in which case, congratulations, you now have a piece of fabric glued to something), or it dries out as if something pulled it apart before it could set (in which case, congratulations, you now have a piece of fabric covered in worthless residue).

[D+1]

Hmmm... Gluing the teeth of a sleeping dragon together would be hilarious...

[Kelb_Panthera]

I suppose it would. Or at least it would behave like regular sinew based glue until the AMF goes away.

Nah. The fibers are being glued to one another. In any case you could always glue the impregnated fabric to a wall of force. The glue sets, the wall disappears when the spell wears out, bam, flat sheet of hardened, magic, carbon-fiber-ish material. Curved pieces can be made with a resilient sphere, and angled pieces with a force cage or the intersection of two or more force walls.

[NRSASD]

@Jelly- I always figured the glue itself wasn't magical, even if it was magically made.

@Cikomyr- Gluing doors open/closed is a great idea! Especially automatic doors that people would expect to open as they try to flee through them :smallwink:

@Kelb- Brilliant! This is why I love the playground: science and magic meet and meld in the most unusual and awesome ways!

Nah. The drying up is where the magic happens. Ones the glue is dry it consists of impossibly strong bonds that were created by magic, but are not actively manipulating magical energies any longer. It's like how two component glue would not work in an anti-chemistry field (incidentally: I'm guessing at how those glues work here, but I'm hoping there's a reaction and my wording works) but wouldn't be undone if it entered one after drying up.

(Also incidentally: yes, there is now such a thing as an anti-chemistry field. For the love of Sif, do not enter one!)

Okay, I my version of the field reactions were no longer happening, since the reactions are what makes chemistry chemistry.

But I suppose I've got a green anti-chemistry field and you've got a red one, which is kind of a pro-chemistry field now that I think about it. :smallbiggrin:

Halting reactions I guess isn't too bad for non-organic things. Could be worse. Imagine nullifying the Strong Nuclear Force in an object?

* Glue shut the porticulus of the local castle/keep/whatever. Raid the countryside secure in the knowledge that the local knights cannot sally forth.

* Glue the hero's hand to the villain's hand. Cue sitcom theme music. (For added duration, glue adamantine bracers onto their wrists.)

* Give to any of the following parties for laughs: Wile E Coyote, Mythbusters, Elan, Kender, Mal Reynolds, Belkar, Tinker Gnomes.

* Stick it on coins and place them on the ground GLUE UP.

* Apply to section of my dungeon's floor as a trap.

* Give it to my kobold minions and tell them to get creative.

* Save for intolerable cliches. "We need to put our heads together," "Let's stick together," and "Stick the landing" are all candidate offenses.

* Preventing the party from splitting.

* Apply glue to the Macguffin, collect fee, hand the Macguffin to the questgiver. Sell solvent at 10x market price.

You still don't need sovereign glue to mess with people if you're powerful enough to make a magical Big Gulp that dicelessly kills you if you can't finish it in a few seconds, and makes you a god if you can.

[Temperjoke]

I would develop a landmine that when tripped would explode the glue on everything in a 5 foot radius, followed up in 30 seconds with an explosion of alchemist's fire on the same radius. Then I'd set up a field of them if I knew an army was advancing towards town.

[Lvl 2 Expert]

Aside from the nitpicking over the wording: I'd funnel the potion.

Set up a second container on some lower point somewhere, connect the two with a hose, apply suction (maybe with a pipette balloon or a pump or something to be extra safe) until the potion starts coming out on the lower side, et voila, god potion to go.

In fact, if I have a pump or pipette balloon I can just pump it out without funnel.

I could even do that with just a straw. Suck the fluid halfway into the straw, let it fall into the other container. Repeat until you've got the full dose.

[Reltzik]

Just drill a small hole at the base of the potion's container and drain it into something more portable.

[Exediron]

You still don't need sovereign glue to mess with people if you're powerful enough to make a magical Big Gulp that dicelessly kills you if you can't finish it in a few seconds, and makes you a god if you can.

Well, no - you clearly don't need it. Hypothetically, you can use it and you thought it would be funny.

Most of these don't make sense, so why'd you choose that one to pick on?

[TheCountAlucard]

Mostly because of how over-the-top impractical it is. Yes, for most of these you're wasting like eleven thousand gold pieces for the sake of a pratfall, but this is making (for the sake of wasting) what's essentially an artifact-level magic item and wasting eleven thousand gold pieces for the sake of a pratfall.

[Reltzik]

That, or it's not over the top ENOUGH. We should make an elemental demi-plane of sovereign glue.
