[QUOTE="N'raac, post: 6225285, member: 6681948"] I think assessing what the Bag of Holding can and can't o makes sense, but I consider there to be an array of possible conclusions that could be reached in that regard, all reasonable, many based on different interpretations of how the magic of the bag works. What we don't know is precisely how the magic of the bag works. We already know air does not flow across the dimensional interface as we might expect it to based on the ordinary laws of physics as the survival time is inconsistent with the bag volume(s). We know that the bag opens into a nondimensional space. We know the volume and weight it can hold, and that living creatures suffocate after 10 minutes in the bag. We don't know a lot else, leaving us to make an interpretation of the interaction of the bag with the world. It looks like an ordinary 2' x 4' sack, but clearly it is not. To me, arguing real world physics is the only possible interpretation for water is just as much real world physics v magic. I have no moral high ground to call out anyone else for occasionally being a jerk, so no issue there. I'm for physics being the baseline, without getting into more esoteric physics, but magic overrides physics. Lightning Bolts, Fireballs and Bags of Holding need not follow physics. [/QUOTE]
