The Backpack of Holding appears as an unassuming traveler’s backpack, adorned with various pockets and pouches. Much like the common Bag of Holding, its main interior space is considerably larger than its outside dimensions. The mouth of the backpack is roughly 2 feet in diameter, and it is 4 feet deep.
Given its utility and rarity, it is highly sought after by adventurers, merchants, and anyone who needs to carry large amounts of gear without the burden of weight. Costs 2,500 gold pieces.
The Backpack of Holding is a favored item among adventurers and explorers. Rumors suggest that these backpacks were first crafted by an eccentric wizard who wanted a more convenient way to carry his spellbooks and components. Over time, the enchantment spread, and now these backpacks are known and valued throughout the realms. They are often sold by high-end merchants or found in the possession of seasoned adventurers.
Special Features:
- Weight: The backpack weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents.
- Capacity: The interior space can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet.
- Retrieval: Retrieving an item from the backpack requires an action.
- Durability: If the backpack is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it ruptures and is destroyed, scattering its contents into the Astral Plane.
- Inversion: If the backpack is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed. The backpack must be put right before it can be used again.
- Breathing: Breathing creatures inside the backpack can survive up to a number of minutes equal to 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1 minute), after which time they begin to suffocate.
