It's intended to resemble what would actually happen in-play, so there is no 'balance'. You can make similar tables for Rare & Very Rare for high-magic campaigns.Starting Magic Items for High Level PCs - roll d20 as many times as appropriate, eg a rare magic campaign would roll once at level 11-16 and twice at 17-20.1. Bag of HoldingWondrous item, uncommonThis bag has an interior space considerably largerthan its outside dimensions, roughly 2 feet in diameterat the mouth and 4 feet deep. The bag can hold up to500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet.The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents.Retrieving an item from the bag requires an action.If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it rupturesand is destroyed, and its contents are scattered in theAstral Plane. If the bag is turned inside out, its contentsspill forth, unharmed, but the bag must be put rightbefore it can be used again. Breathing creatures insidethe bag can survive up to a number of minutes equalto 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1minute), after which time they begin to suffocate.Placing a bag of holding inside an extradimensionalspace created by a Heward’s handy haversack, portablehole, or similar item instantly destroys both items andopens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originateswhere the one item was placed inside the other. Anycreature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through itto a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate thencloses. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened.2.
