Message: <blockquote data-quote="Seramus" data-source="post: 9680385" data-attributes="member: 6812658">I always ruled that the opening rotates around the internal space - so a portable hole opened on the ground leads to the ceiling of the internal space. If you open the portable hole on a wall, you come in from the side of the internal space. This ensures shelving and fragile objects are not being smashed around. I use the same process for Bags of Holding, so if the bag is filled with liquid and you opened it with the hole facing down, then the hole opens up at the bottom of the internal space and the liquid starts to spill out.That said, I've had players carry around Bags of Holding full of water that they dump onto the ground to use with Shape Water (shaping the water back into the bag when they are finished), and it works fine. I thought about how easily it would be to "overburden" a Bag of Holding by putting water into it, but I'm not going to "Gotcha!" my players by rupturing their bag because of water (and they've never tried to abuse it by pressurizing the water or anything).I've also seen DM's rule that the opening is always in the same position regardless of the orientation of the Hole/Bag. That also works, since you might put a portable hole on the ground and step in, only to find yourself walking into the hole from the side. But it means dumping things out like a bag full of water becomes difficult. But it's not really a big deal what you rule, they all have minor pros and cons.</blockquote>
