One two three four the bagman's coming to your door.

Seems like Warlock, Genie patron, Pact of the Blade would cover a lot of the concept. Can’t quick swap armor, but at-will Disguise Self could cover the aesthetics.

We've always ruled that an extra-dimensional space inside an extra-dimensional space will cause issues. It doesn't matter how the extra-dimensional space is created or if it's permanent.

We have "cheated" in the past saying that there was a "drop box" you could store items in if you were entering an extra dimensional space created by Magnificent Mansion, not that it came up often.

Five six seven eight the bagman's claws will be your fate.

I submit that the rope trick spell is not a handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item. A bag of holding can be brought inside the extradimensional space it creates with no ill effect.

Sage Advice disagrees

If I cast Rope Trick and intentionally throw a Bag of Holding into it, can I get to the Astral Plane?

You do indeed purchase a gate to the astral with that move

That’s a surprisingly reasonable call for Sage Advice. I happen to agree with this ruling, but I don’t give Sage Advice any more credence than anyone else’s opinion. Also notably, it’s a Mike Mearls answer, not a Jeremy Crawford answer, which means it’s both quite old and also has never been considered official.

Nine ten eleven and twelve, down the bagman's throat you'll delve.

If you're already on a plane (Material Plane), aren't you already stacking a plane inside a plane? Wouldn't that make PH/BoH inherently unstable anyway? Why would travel to 'yet another plane' be a big difference? Can you open your PH/BoH while on another plane? What makes things like "leo's tiny hut" and "rope trick" unstable? aren't these just smaller planes?

Just tell players that in a pocket universe, the PH/BoH just doesn't allow you to open the other hole (gravitic forces inside the other hole/bag, some kind of treknobabble)... or maybe the BoH does work, but maybe it opens to someone else's PH/BoH... or because the PH/BoH is a 'link' to another dimension, you risk the losing that dimensional space.
