MasPan Wrote:For kicks, try emptying a bag of holding full of goblin corpses infused with explosive energy inside a Tararsque. Strangely, it survived this happening, but had severe internal damage.

eos367 Wrote:Some DM's are cruel enough to insist the interior is permeated with anti-magic. That makes that ever so much more awkward too.

MasPan Wrote:[color="#cc8899"]Anti-magic would still cancel the effects of a bag of holding, causing its contents to rupture outward. Even without explosive energy, the masses of Goblin parts would force it to expand outward as far as its hide would allow. Somewhat hindered by extremely powerful stomach acid, but still instantaneous.

However, the anti-magic would also cancel any magical defense against the acid. So the best way is to lob the bag into it's mouth. Unfortunate in that it requires you to lose your bag of holding [/COLOR]

eos367 Wrote:Not necessarily - It could be ruled that the anti magic field simply severs the bags connection to the pocket dimension actually holding the materials, turning it into an ordinary bag for the duration of it's proximity to the field, without altering the contents or the bag itself. Except of course the bag would be vaporized by the acid, while the gate was nullified, leaving no way to re-establish access to the pocket-dimension.

The only time a bag ruptures like that is when one bag is placed into another.

The scenario you described would only be applicable to a lesser bag of holding, which rather than using a pocket dimension has merely augmented the natural storage capacity of a standard sack. Those frankly suck because they can't handle nearly the capacity and still retain a vast majority of the weight so you'd never be able to load them quite that well as the pocket-dimension variety, which physically are just an empty sack that serves as the locus for the prime material side of the conduit.

MasPan Wrote:Hmm, guess my DM just favored creative solutions to problems and allowed the above to occur. He had ruled that the dimension was contained within the sack, not that the bag was a conduit to said dimension. When the bag's magical properties were gone, the dimension ceased to exist inside the bag, and the items spilled into the player dimension. Your scenario works too though. Incidentally, playing a Gnome Barbarian is hella fun, wielding a Butcher Knife like a Buster Sword

eos367 Wrote:It's a very entertaining game when done correctly, more focused on plot than mindless grind. Granted an MMO version of it can never compare to the chaos of a live group of random people all trying to twist the game into their own personal entertainment while a game master frantically wrestles for control of his reality.

TobiasBlack Wrote:still like that to this day. hermetic reclusive shut-in, am i.

eos367 Wrote:you could even join a group that plays online via email, vent, or similar.

Quantact Wrote:Somebody at a D&D competitive gaming convention defeated the Tarrasque by feeding it Green Slimes. By eating the slimes, the Tarrasque was transformed into green slime itself, and was thus defeated. If Maple had opportunities to be creative like that, it would be an epic game.
