<G-Mobile> UmbralRaptor: would you think that as the mass of a planet goes up, the probability of it having no moon decreases?
<Iskierka> simple thought by simple person: it formed from a lot of mass to have a lot, formation will always miss some that could form something else, the bigger it is the more it can miss to form moon(s)
<Iskierka> as a heavy mass cloud is also a big one that probably stretches quite far and can be missed
<G-Mobile> Also, the more mass, the wider it's catchment is, and the more space around it moons have to move around before getting knocked out
<Iskierka> "I am going to make a D&D adventure about an evil wizard named Calvin and his army of hobglobins, The Hobs."
<G-Mobile> He just wanted to play calvinball
<G-Mobile> Now its calvinwar

<UmbralRaptor> I assume one of the components of the Calvinball spell is limited wish?
<UmbralRaptor> G-Mobile: Unsure, and I suspect that other effects dominate until you get into the ice giant range.
<UmbralRaptor> see: eg: most icy dwarf planets have moons, but the Ceres and the larger asteroids (Vesta, Pallas, etc) do not.
