In the same email I noted that if Plane Shift is needed instead for a bomb, then the bomb becomes too expensive: two Portable Holes (DMG p264) for 40,000 gp. Expensive, but possibly a good deal depending on how much devastation it creates. That's 3,800 gp total for a single-use item. The cheapest way to build this bomb would be with a Handy Haversack (2,000 gp) enveloping a Quiver of Ehlonna (1,800 gp, DMG p265). What would this cost? I observed in the email discussion that both the Bag of Holding and Handy Haversack use Leomund's Secret Chest as the embodied spell (this is from D&D 3.5e). That can cause similar explosions or rifts in time/space or destruction of the items.Īt that point, because we were all mulling over ways to defeat the evil Vladaam in our Tomb of Horrors campaign, I designed the "Bag of Holding bomb" in PowerPoint and sent it to the group (click to see full size): You also don't want to put one magical bag into another magical bag.

At the time, I had also been employed in the defense industry for about half my life, working around various weapons systems. In addition, Elenial’s quiver grants the following abilities to its wearer.Ģnd Level: The wearer gains use of the Rapid Shot feat.Ĥth Level: All concealment miss chances are reduced by 10% when firing arrows from the quiver.Ħth Level: Once per day, the quiver can cast magic weapon on all arrows inside it (the quiver holds up to 20 arrows) as a 3rd-level channeler.Back in July 2005 I became intrigued with crafting weird and improbable magical items for the amusement of my Dungeons and Dragons gaming group. ![]() As long as its wearer wields a shortbow or longbow of some kind, the quiver will always have at least one arrow in it. The quiver itself is made of fine leather and stitched with the sinew of a dire bear. Elenial failed to notice this magical aid in her bloodlust, and the orcs who cut her down simply left the quiver to rot with her body where she fell. Saddened by the girl’s plight and enraged by the foul orcs and corrupt men who slashed and burned their way through the elven forest, the spirits of the wood enchanted the girl’s quiver to aid her in her quest for revenge. This magical quiver is woven into the legend of Elenial, an elf girl who took bloody revenge on the Shadow’s minions who murdered her family, and today it bears her name in lorebooks across Eredane.
