Question for anyone who feels like answering: can Minor Creation be used to create a black hole? There's no limit on the mass or density of the object being created - just its size. If you're holding a little ball of iron and specify that you want to create a chunk of iron an inch wide weighing, say, fifty solar masses, bam, you've destroyed the entire planet (and system). And if yes: can Prestidigitation be used to do the same? Its wording is a little vaguer. |

Just buy a bag of holding and put a portable hole in it.

I'm going to say no to Minor Creation for this reason: You must have a tiny piece of matter of the same sort that you are creating. Yes, you could have iron, but if you make it so dense as to weigh fifty solar masses in (lvl) cubic feet, it's not really iron anymore. Chemically, the two substances wouldn't be the same, just made of the same components.
I'm going to say no to Prestidigitation for this reason: The items created by Prestidigitation are extremely fragile. Again, nothing with the density required to make a black hole could possibly be labeled as extremely fragile.

Okay, so if I get my hands on some degenerate matter, then I can create a black hole. Seems difficult enough.

If you did manage to get your hands on degenerate matter, wouldn't it already be a black hole?  |

Nope. Degenerate matter is compressed enough that the Pauli exclusion principle forces all its particles into higher quantum states, but not so much that it collapses into a singularity. It's what neutron stars and white dwarfs and the like are made of.

Does that mean one of the racial bonuses for Dwarves is sucking? (HO HO BECAUSE BLACK HOLES SUCK THINGS INTO THEM AND YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT WHITE DWARVES HO HO) |

So this just in I like 4e DnD. Why? Let me paraphrase some of the text from the Player's Handbook, under the "dragonborn" entry:
Play a dragonborn if you want:
- to have breath attacks
- to favor the warlord, fighter, and paladin classes
- to be the proud heir of an ancient, fallen empire
- to look like a dragon
That's hilarious to me. I don't know why. No, wait, I do know why. It's like, rather than saying that you can play as a part-dragon and have the awesomeness be implied, they are so trying to appeal to the WoW generation that it's no longer beneath them to go ahead and say, "Fighter: has 1d10 HD, base attack bonus of +1, proficiency with all simple and martial weapons, and looks totally sweet in platemail."
