Bag of Holding

Re: Bag of Holding

 

So what's the DEF and BODY of a 'Bag of Holding' built with EDM or Limited STR? (Say the character is caught in an AOE attack that doesn't necessarily damage them' date=' it still might damage the 'bag').[/quote']

 

 

Just some of the reasons that I really liked HM's build, right there.

 

More than any other build so far, the vehicle-based build leaves you with an actual object. Something that must be guarded, could be stolen, could be damaged, takes up space, has weight and defense. A real physical object. It's even possible for something to escape _from_ this bag, should it be used to stash a dwarf or two.

 

I found it extremely elegant, and, while everyone will have their own idea on what's the best way to do anything, I find that the vehicle-based build (or a base-based build would even work) to address everything I'd need from such an item in my own games.

 

I wish I could rep him twice for the idea.

You're right, it's a very smooth build.

It's using the same basic principle as the TARDIS build, which is exactly right.

I wanted to say thank you for this thread as I was not sure how to make Storage Seals in Naruto using Hero's 5th ed rules but this thread has help. Thank you.

There is a writeup for a, "Wizard's Sack" in Fantasy Hero. It will be in the 6e release as well.

As stated in another thread:

 

I'd build it as a very low-cost base, TBH. Just do it as a custom power, buy the base up to the area of the bag, make the location "another dimension", and "hard to defend" since it is on your person, and then slap Focus or whatever on it.

 

Which ends up being a custom power with an active cost of 5 for a 32" (8" by 4" base) Area Bag of Holding, before adding any modifiers to the custom power.

You still need some way of getting to the base, either a weird build of XDM or Stretching with Transdimensional.

What are the benefits of using a base instead of a vehicle to build this effect?

Re: Bag of Holding

 

Because a Vehicle has some default form of movement while a base does not. To put it simply, using a base was the easiest way for me to say "this bag holds X amount of stuff" without stressing over active points and how many dice of transform etc.
