This bag has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, roughly 2 feet in diameter at the mouth and 4 feet deep. The bag can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bag requires an action.
If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it ruptures and is destroyed, and its contents are scattered in the Astral Plane. If the bag is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, but the bag must be put right before it can be used again. Breathing creatures inside the bag can survive up to a number of minutes equal to 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1 minute), after which time they begin to suffocate.
Placing a bag of holding inside an extradimensional space created by a handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened.

Posted Jul 9, 2018I would say it's conjuration - making a pocket dimension
or while using
evocation - summoning them from pocket dimension (as the dimension already exist within the item)

Posted Jul 10, 2018It says that this is found in the Basic Rules on page 153. The only version I can find only has 114 pages and doesn't contain the bag of holding. What is the official 5e source for this?

Posted Oct 27, 2018maybe transmutation with the alteration of reality, space-time and what not.
also they seem to be the tinkerers and alchemists that would create something like that

Posted Oct 29, 2018Can other entities steal out of the bag or is it just the player who put items into the bag

Posted Oct 31, 2018It would be helpful if the mechanics of this item were integrated into the character sheet. Marking items as being in the Bag of Holding should enable you to still have them in your inventory, but with zero weight.

Posted Jan 28, 2019Technically the bag is empty unless you think of a particular object as you put your hand into it.
Unless you know what's in it, it's basically impossible to steal from it.
Personally I'd rule that you can turn it upside down and shake it to empty it, but the items come out at random, and that can be incredibly dangerous if you know the types of people and what they tend to carry in these bags. ;)

Posted Feb 24, 2019You can definitely expel all items by turning it inside out, you don't have to house rule that. But yeah, you can spill some dangerous things out sometimes lmao

Posted Feb 25, 2019Today I was asked what would happen if the Bag of Holding was open and thrown in a lake. I turned it into an extra credit question for my students.
Using the available data, How much water can an open Bag of Holding hold if it was thrown open into a body of water? Research any unknowns and solve assuming that only water flows into the bag.
According to RAW a Bag of Holding can hold 64 Cubic feet or 500 lbs. There are 7.48 gallons in one cubic foot of water and that totals 478.72 gallons of water. A gallon of water weighs 8.34 lbs. Therefore, the Bag of Holding would hit its weight limit at 59.9520383693 gallons before its volume limit.
