This bag has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions—roughly 2 feet square and 4 feet deep on the inside. The bag can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. The bag weighs 5 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bag requires a Utilize action.
If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it 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. The bag holds enough air for 10 minutes of breathing, divided by the number of breathing creatures inside.
Placing a Bag of Holding inside an extradimensional space created by a Heward’s 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 a 10-foot-radius Sphere centered on the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way and can’t be reopened.

Posted Dec 4, 2025I mean in theory you could lower the water level a bit, maybe causing a shorter path to be open to the party.

Posted Dec 23, 202564 cubic feet of water is negligible to a lake; a large pond can easily lose amount of water to evaporation in a day, during winter.

Posted Feb 3, 2026Not to mention, 500 lbs of water is about 60 gallons, a little more than a plastic kiddie pool.

Posted Mar 1, 2026Curious how any DMs here rule on the interaction between:
The Genie > Genie Vessel / Bottled Respite
https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/7-warlock?page=3#TheGenie
"The interior of the vessel [of Genie Vessel / Bottled Respite] is an extradimensional space in the shape of a 20-foot-radius cylinder, 20 feet high, and resembles your vessel."
And the Bag of Holding
https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/9228356-bag-of-holding
"Placing a Bag of Holding inside an extradimensional space created by a Heward’s Handy Haversack, Portable Hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane."
It seems pretty clear to me here that both are extradimensional spaces, and thus cannot contain each other.
That said, it seems pretty punitive for this class feature for them to never be able to have a Bag of Holding,
since the Warlock would likely want to use their Genie Vessel / Bottled Respite somewhat often,
though rarely if ever think to drop their Genie Vessel into their Bag of Holding.
Thoughts?

Posted Mar 7, 2026Joining in late to the dimension discussion of the Bag of Holding. I have always understood the Bag of Holding to be an extradimensional space; and, while yes it seems to contradict itself by stating that the interior of the bag is a pocket roughly 2ft wide x 4ft deep and it stating that it can not hold more than a volume of 64 cubic feet, that in of itself is not a contradiction. While looking into the bag, you only see that 2ft x 4ft pocket view of the extradimensional space, but when reaching into the bag it gives you access to the entire space. So each time you look into the bag you could possibly see something different given on where the opening in the dimensional space appears when you open the bag.

Posted Mar 19, 2026Interesting take. Are you suggesting that the "...'Fabric' of extradimensional space" is stretchy? :-)

Posted Apr 5, 2026I found the costs in chapter 7 of the DMG - Treasure. It does not list "Bag of Holding" specifically but i figured it out by looking at the Magic Item Values by Rarity. Beyond lists a Bag of Holding as uncommon - so according to the table, its cost is 400 GP.
