Pouch of Holding


Aura moderate conjuration; CL 9th
Slot —; Price (Type I) 2,500 gp, (Type II) 5,000 gp, (Type III) 7,400 gp, (Type IV) 10,000 gp; Weight 5 lb./8 lb./11 lb./18 lb.

DESCRIPTION

These sturdy brown leather pouches are designed to be worn on a belt and secured with a reinforced clasp. Though compact - the opening no larger than a large human fist - each pouch contains an extradimensional space capable of storing far more than its apparent size would allow.

Items placed within the pouch are stored in a weightless extradimensional pocket. The pouch always weighs a fixed amount regardless of its contents. Retrieving a specific item from the pouch is a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Each pouch has a maximum weight capacity depending on its type. If overloaded, or if a sharp object is forced inside (such as a blade or jagged item), the pouch ruptures, destroying the item and scattering its contents into the Astral Plane.

  • Type I: Holds up to 100 lb.; pouch weight 5 lb.
  • Type II: Holds up to 200 lb.; pouch weight 8 lb.
  • Type III: Holds up to 400 lb.; pouch weight 11 lb.

LORE

The first Pouches of Holding are said to have originated not in grand arcane towers, but among practical-minded hedge wizards who grew tired of hauling reagents through mud-choked roads and crowded markets. These early designs were crude, often unstable, and occasionally catastrophic - more than one apprentice vanished along with their belongings when a poorly stitched pouch collapsed into itself.

Over time, the craft was refined and standardized, eventually adopted by more formal arcane traditions. Unlike their larger cousins - the more famous Bags of Holding - these pouches became favored by scouts, thieves, and traveling spellcasters who valued subtlety over capacity. A well-made pouch could carry a small arsenal or a wizard’s full toolkit without drawing attention, making it a quiet but invaluable companion.

Rumors persist of experimental variants created during magical arms races between rival guilds. Some tales speak of pouches that could selectively reject items, preserve fragile materials indefinitely, or even conceal living creatures. Most scholars dismiss these stories as exaggerations, but seasoned adventurers know better - extradimensional space has never been entirely predictable, and the line between utility and danger is often as thin as stitched leather.

Spoon of Chastisement

Spoon of Chastisement Aura faint enchantment; CL 3rd Slot —; Price 1,200 gp; Weight 1 lb Description This unassuming wooden spoon appears worn and well-used, its surface smoothed by time and countless “lessons learned.” It is often found in the possession of stern caretakers, patient matriarchs, and those who believe that discipline is best taught with equal parts love and force of will. Despite its humble appearance, the Spoon of Chastisement functions as a +1 sap (see Dungeon Master’s Guide ). It deals 1d4 points of nonlethal bludgeoning damage on a successful hit. However, the true magic of the spoon reveals itself when it strikes true. On a successful hit, the target must succeed on a Will saving throw (DC 14) or be affected as though by a command spell, issued by the wielder. The command must be a single word and must be something that the target can reasonably understand and perform in a single round. Creatures that successfully save are shaken for 1 round from the su...

Mystwalker

Mystwalker (Note: Format follows  Tome Of Artifacts. Eldritch Relics And Wonders) Focus or Theme: Transportation and Travel Origin: Crafted by beings or gods who existed before the creation of the current multiverse Benefits: Immune to Fear and Fear-Like Effects Spell-Like Abilities: No Spell-Like Abilities Major Powers: Travel Downsides: Bonded Artifact, Misfortune The Tale of Mystwalker The Dark Powers that control the Demiplane of Fear, while usually capricious and seemingly evil beyond measure, also seem to possess a darkly humorous side. This cruel whimsy usually comes in the form of a dramatically ironic death, and the failures of the Dread Lords to achieve their goals would most definitely be seen as amusing to the Dark Powers as well. This isn’t always the case, however. When exactly the ring Mystwalker was originally created is unknown. There are records of the ring dating back some two-hundred fifty years or so, starting around year 500 on the Barovian ...

Coin of Wealth

Coin of Wealth Aura faint conjuration; CL 5th Slot —; Weight — Description A Coin of Wealth appears as a single, perfectly ordinary coin of its designated type - copper, silver, gold, or platinum - though it is always pristine and untarnished. When placed within a pouch and left undisturbed for at least 8 hours (typically overnight), the coin conjures additional mundane currency of the same type. Each morning, the pouch contains an additional 1d6 coins of the same denomination as the Coin of Wealth . These coins are nonmagical, indistinguishable from standard currency, and are considered legitimate tender in most civilized regions. The coin only functions if kept inside a pouch, sack, or similar soft container . It does not function if stored in rigid containers such as chests, boxes, or vaults, nor if left exposed. Additionally, the coin ceases to function if other items remain in the pouch when the conjuration occurs; the pouch must contain only the Coin of Wealth at the...
