I'm just trying to stimulate some thoughtful discussion."So, to answer your question, the only reason any of us are arguing about any of this is that you asked us to!No. It means that there is no one, single, correct answer to the question: "How much does a gelatinous cube weigh?" The answer will be: "Whatever the DM decides it weighs." Just as there is no one, single, correct answer to your question: "Does immersion in water result in the automatic destruction of a bag of holding, and the loss of any gear stored inside?"It does if your DM says that's how a bag of holding works, and doesn't if he doesn't.That is an unproven assumption.Just because the amount of resistance is slight enough that no Strength check is required to overcome it, doesn't mean there is no resistance. There is no Strength check required to push a dinner plate across a table, but if there was no resistance, the plate wouldn't stop moving once you stopped pushing it.And the bag's resistance doesn't even have to be constant or consistent, because Magic.Assuming there is, in fact, a "special exception" for water or anything else, the first, most obvious answer is: Because Magic.</blockquote>
