[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 7235612, member: 6669384"] Regarding what damage a "pipe bomb" might do, I'd cap it at [I]Fireball[/I] damage. Both are 3rd level spells, after all. Is a wheelbarrow a container? Is a bucket a container? A chest? I say yes to all three, but YMMV, of course. If you rule that it has to be a "closed" container, well, that's reasonable. A lash-down canvas cover settles the question. As for "the lower hardness gets crushed", if I [I]Shrink Item[/I] into the "clothlike substance" mentioned in the spell description, then the reduced item has (as noted) a Hardness of zero. It's also not really subject to crushing damage in that situation. You can drive a loaded SUV over a piece of rope without damaging it. My original question stands, though: At what point is using the spell to stockpile and transport mundane tools and equipment an abuse? How much is too much? [/QUOTE]
