The devil is prada?
Hey there guys, its Sarge here with another asinine question stemming from a recent streak of DMing premade Pathfinder adventures.
In this 6th level adventure, (that takes you to 7 and 8) the PCs can stumble upon a bag of devouring.
This bag appears to be an ordinary sack. Detection for magical properties makes it seem as if it were a bag of holding. The sack is, however, something entirely different and more insidious. It is—in fact, one of the feeding orifices of an extradimensional creature.
Any substance of animal or vegetable nature is subject to “swallowing'' if thrust within the bag. The bag of devouring is 90% likely to ignore any initial intrusion, but anytime thereafter that it senses living flesh within (such as if someone reaches into the bag to pull something out), it is 60% likely to close around the offending member and attempt to draw the whole victim in. The bag has a +8 bonus on combat maneuver checks made to grapple. If it pins a creature, it pulls them inside as a free action. The bag has CMD of 18 for those attempting to break free.
The bag can hold up to 30 cubic feet of matter. It acts as a bag of holding type I, but each hour it has a 5% cumulative chance of swallowing the contents and then spitting the stuff out in some nonspace or on some other plane. Creatures drawn within are consumed in 1 round. The bag destroys the victim's body and prevents any form of raising or resurrection that requires part of the corpse. There is a 50% chance that a wish, miracle, or true resurrection spell can restore a devoured victim to life. Check once for each destroyed creature. If the check fails, the creature cannot be brought back to life by mortal magic.
Pretty scary stuff. Anyone have any experience with this item? It seems like a hilarious, if unfair, way to die. I'm reluctant to unleash it on my players - especially considering the DC 42 spellcraft check required to identify the bag's true nature. (DC 17 caster level item + base 15 id check + 10 for identifying the true nature of a cursed item).
