This unassuming bag looks like a standard Bag of Holding and functions similarly, but with an unpredictable twist: what you retrieve from it may not be the same as what you put in.
Properties
-
Capacity: The Bag of Random Stuff holds up to 500 pounds of material, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. It weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents.
-
Unpredictable Retrieval: Whenever you attempt to retrieve an item, roll a d100 and consult the table below to determine what you pull out instead of the intended item. There is a 10% chance (a roll of 91–100) that you retrieve the item you intended.
-
Permanence of Swaps: Once retrieved, the new item is real and permanent. The original item remains in the bag and might be retrieved later, or it might transform into something else.
d100 Random Retrieval Table
The following table offers inspiration for random retrievals but is not exhaustive. The DM may modify or replace results as they see fit.
| Roll | Retrieved Item |
|---|---|
| 01–05 | A chicken egg (raw). |
| 06–10 | A rusty, useless key. |
| 11–15 | A gold coin that vanishes after 1 hour. |
| 16–20 | A mundane sword. |
| 21–25 | A loaf of slightly stale bread. |
| 26–30 | A magical trinket (DM's choice). |
| 31–35 | A vial of harmless glowing liquid. |
| 36–40 | A live (but harmless) frog. |
| 41–45 | A set of dice that always roll 6. |
| 46–50 | A random low-level spell scroll. |
| 51–55 | A nonmagical book with blank pages. |
| 56–60 | A bottle of fine wine (real and drinkable). |
| 61–65 | A mundane, nonfunctional clockwork toy. |
| 66–70 | A bag of marbles. |
| 71–75 | A single healing potion (2d4+2). |
| 76–80 | A small pouch of glittering gemstones (50 gp). |
| 81–85 | A random magical item of uncommon rarity (DM's choice). |
| 86–90 | A live chicken (confused but harmless). |
| 91–100 | The exact item you intended to retrieve. |
Additional Rules
- Storing Items: Any item placed in the bag will be "absorbed" into the chaotic extradimensional space, becoming a part of its pool of potential retrievals.
- Extradimensional Interactions: As with other extradimensional items, placing the Bag of Random Stuff inside another extradimensional space (such as a Portable Hole) creates a planar rift and destroys both items.
