The Perils and Possibilities of Placing a Bag of Holding Inside a Bag of Holding
I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of extradimensional spaces. The idea that there could be entire worlds hidden within the folds of reality is both exhilarating and terrifying. And when it comes to Dungeons & Dragons, there’s no better way to tap into that potential than with a bag of holding.
But what happens when you put a bag of holding inside a bag of holding? Well, let’s just say that things can get a little… complicated.
The Dangers of Nesting Bags of Holding
The most important thing to remember when nesting bags of holding is that it’s a recipe for disaster. When you put one bag inside another, you’re essentially creating an infinite feedback loop. each bag creates a pocket dimension that leads to the other bag, and so on and so forth. This can quickly lead to a situation where you’re lost in a maze of extradimensional spaces, unable to find your way out.
Even if you’re able to avoid getting lost, nesting bags of holding can still be dangerous. The pockets dimension created by these bags are not designed to be stable, and they can collapse at any moment. If this happens while you’re inside one of the bags, you could be crushed to death.
The Benefits of Nesting Bags of Holding
Despite the risks, there are also some potential benefits to nesting bags of holding. For one thing, it can allow you to carry around a vast amount of loot. If you have a bag of holding that’s already full, you can simply put it inside another bag of holding to create more space. This can be especially useful for adventurers who are constantly acquiring new treasure.
Another potential benefit of nesting bags of holding is that it can allow you to create a portable base of operations. By placing a bag of holding inside a larger bag of holding, you can create a space that’s large enough to store all of your gear and supplies. This can be especially useful for parties that are traveling long distances or who need a place to rest and regroup.
Tips for Nesting Bags of Holding Safely
If you’re planning on nesting bags of holding, there are a few things you can do to minimize the risks.
- Never put a living creature inside a bag of holding that’s nested inside another bag of holding. This is a surefire way to get someone killed.
- Be careful not to overfill the bags. The more stuff you put in them, the more likely they are to collapse.
- Keep the bags separate. Don’t put them inside each other for extended periods of time. The longer they’re nested, the more likely they are to cause problems.
- Be prepared for the worst. If a bag of holding collapses while you’re inside it, don’t panic. Just try to stay calm and find a way to escape.
Frequently Asked Questions About Nesting Bags of Holding
Q: What happens if I put a bag of holding inside a portable hole?
A: Nothing good. The two extradimensional spaces will interact in unpredictable ways, and it’s likely that both the bag of holding and the portable hole will be destroyed.
Q: Can I use a bag of holding to store another bag of holding that’s already full?
A: Yes, but it’s not recommended. The extra weight of the full bag could cause the other bag to collapse.
Q: What’s the best way to transport a large amount of loot?
A: The safest way to transport a large amount of loot is to use multiple bags of holding. This will help to distribute the weight and reduce the risk of a collapse.
Conclusion
Nesting bags of holding can be a risky business, but it can also be a rewarding one. If you’re careful and follow the tips above, you can minimize the risks and enjoy the benefits. Just remember, the more bags you nest, the greater the chance of something going wrong. So, proceed with caution.
