    Default The new elementals (first elemental statted out, everyone can add)

    Inspired by the recent OOTS comics I thought it would be a nice idea to stat out a couple of ‘new’ elementals.

    A few ideas

    Oxygen elementals should deal fire damage (IIRC pure oxygen burns animals (the group of living creatures, nit the creature type) (and perhaps other living creatures))

    Titanium elementals should have DR of high

    Gold elementals should be powerful, we all know PCs will grab the remains of this one, better account for it in the treasure, while keeping it balanced with other creatures of it's CR.

    Why build a golem to guard your treasure; when you can summon an elemental that is your treasure?

    Of course, based on how elementals work, all of their golden goodness would be whisked back to the elemental plane of earth after they're destroyed.

    Gold elementals really don't need to be powerful. As the Armadillo above me says, the gold would just be whisked away to the Elemental Plane of Earth.

    Anyway, gold isn't a very strong material, and if you want the elementals to actually fit in with the real elements, it shouldn't be that powerful.

    Hydrogen elemental
    Large elemental (water, air)
    HD 5d8 (22)
    Speed 5 ft. (0 squares); fly 40 ft (perfect)
    Init: +4
    AC 13; touch 13; flat-footed 9

    BAB +3; Grp +3
    Attack slam -2 (1d6-2, 18-20/X2 + burning edge)
    Full-Attack slam -2 (1d6-2, 18-20/X2 + 1d3 burning edge)
    Space 10 ft.; Reach 10 ft.
    Special Attacks Burning edge
    Special Qualities DR 5/-, vulnerability to fire, water creation, poorly visible
    Saves Fort +4 Ref +5 Will +2
    Abilities Str 3, Dex 18, Con 11, Int 10, Wis 13, Cha 9
    Skills Move silently +15, Hide +15
    Feats Skill focus (hide), skill focus (move silently)
    Environment the elemental plane of hydrogen
    Organization single
    Challenge Rating 3
    Treasure no gold; no gems; no art; no magical items
    Alignment CN
    Advancement 6-10 HD (large) 11-13 HD (huge); rogue
    Level Adjustment -

    Burning edge
    A hydrogen elemental can set part of it aflame when attacking, dealing 1d4 or 1d6 (elementals choice) bonus fire damage on that attack, while dealing the same amount of fire damage to itself (fire vulnarability doesn't count for this)

    Water creation
    Every point of fire damage dealt to a hydrogen elemental creates one gallon of pure water, which lands beneath the elemental.

    Poorly visible
    Due to the fact hydrogen looks so much like normal air it gains a +4 bonus on hide checks.

    ------------------------------------

    What do you think of this hydrogen elemental?

    A hydrogen elemental should have DR 5/- just like an air elemental.

    Helium Elemental should pretty much sit there and do nothing. It is inert, after all.

    Sodium elemental should be inflicted damage as long as it is in contact with air or water.

    Uranium elemental should get smaller and smaller until it is Fine.

    does a mercury elemental become absorbed if anyone touches it unprotected, then force a fort save against becoming insane?

    yes, I said FORT save, not will. the mercury is absorbed into the body and makes you mad as a hatter at a tea party

    Or make it from the Elemental Plane of Air (Elemental Demiplane of Hydrogen).

    Don't forget the paraelemental planes (like for the calciumcarbonate paraelemental, the methane paraelemental, the steel paraelemental or the natriumchloride paraelemental)

    So, I'm not up to date with english chemistry terms and this was the closest term I could think of. And if you start using the modern usage of the word element you should also get rid of the traditional term for paraelementals. We should also make Isotopals for things like deuterium

    Mercury Elemental would have fast healing 40 and Poison touch as well as Permahaste. Wait... that fast-healing is based on it being liquid while water elementals don't have fast-healing.

    Many of these would turn into "my eyes... dear gods my poor innocent eyes..." elementals when you tried to take them out by chemical reactions.

    Steel isn't even a compound let alone an elemental.

    If you make a gold elemental it does not have to pure gold, it could just be made up of a gold ore. Then even if the PC took its body they would still have to refine the ore wich could make for a fun side quest some how.


    Random note. My Geology profesor got a gold ore from south Africa and said the whole day he was going around campus looking at it and studying the sample and he was so busy looking at the gold he did not notice the black mineral. Any one want to guess what the black mineral was. Here is a clue its used to make bombs and power plants. Thats right uranium, its not harmful for the most part in its natural state but even so if he was handling it he should have been washing his hands. Tangent over.

    Wait Uranium elementals, you kill it and the city blows up.

    Gold usually isn't found in ores, it's found either pure or mixed with other materials, but it's very rare to find gold ore, this is due to the fact gold is not easily becoming in an ionic state (not sure about the term), I think gold ore is rarer than normal gold, in fact.

    Gold is extremely nonreactive. It's almost always found in elemental form. This is why you get gold nuggets washing up in rivers.

    This is also why gold is so valuable; not only is it rare, it doesn't rust.

    Silver tarnishes after a while. So does copper, and brass, and tin, and iron, and steel... the most valuable metals don't corrode, for some reason.

    (Fun fact: Gold is sometimes used instead of copper or silicon in electronics because it's very good at conducting electricity, with the added bonus that it doesn't rust after a while.)
