Bag of Hiding

This item functions identically to the Bag of Holding, except that it has a buckle on the front that, when fastened, creates a false interior of the bag that makes it indistinguishable from a regular pouch. The buckle does not serve any visible function and appears cosmetic. While the buckle is fastened, items cannot be retrieved from the bag's extradimensional space, though items can still be placed into the false interior as though the bag were a regular pouch. Any items placed in the false interior will be stored in a separate extradimensional space while the buckle is unfastened and cannot be retrieved unless the buckle is fastened once again.

If the buckle is fastened, the bag can be safely turned inside out without ejecting the contents of its extradimensional space. Any breathing creature inside the extradimensional space not currently attached to the bag's entrance begins to suffocate immediately. If the bag is ruptured or otherwise damaged, all items in the larger extradimensional space are lost to the Astral Sea regardless of whether the buckle is fastened or not. However, any items in the bag's false interior will return safely to the destroyed bag's interior.

As with other such items, placing a bag of hiding 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.
