Hello Everyone,

I've got a bit of an oddity. My Druid has Leather Crafting and Engineering. As far as I know, normally, druids prefer to -not- dabble in metals and the like. However, looking through everything I could find the main focus of the Druid is that they revere nature and that they stay lawful.

My character is more of a realist, I guess. He's a bit of an outcast in the Druid society, but is not considered an Anti-Druid as he hasn't forsaken nature or taught the language to non-druids, etc, etc. He just skirts around the edge of what most druids feel is right because he feels that for the greater good of nature one must embrace technological advances of those who are not so in tune with nature as they cannot be stopped. He feels that altering the way those advances take place to benefit nature is the only way to keep the world from becoming entirely machine in the distant future.

So, instead of trying to shun such things he will dabble in them and try to sway people into mixing things to better suit nature's future rolls within the various societies.

IMPORTANT PART: At the moment though, we're on a quest where the whole world is going to end. As such, my character has taken up a "For the Greater good" mentality. This leads to some strange conflicts. For instance, recently I had an alter we needed to fill will blood. So much blood that it would kill whomever we got the blood from. We were in the middle of a peaceful castle so there were no hostiles to kill and use.

The idea I had was to summon one of my Nature's Ally's. I then utilized Calm Animal, Charm Animal, and Wild Empathy to calm and soothe and finally asked that he allow us to sacrifice him for the blood we needed. The GM said "OH HELLS NO", and did not allow it saying it -had- to be against the Druidic code. I argued that Nature's Allies do not die, instead they go back to the dimension from which they came. I said that it would be a quick and painless death, and I argued that I was revering nature by requesting permission before the sacrifice. As it ended up, my Ally touched a thing it shouldn't have when fleeing the room and burst into ashes... and we decided to go get a guard to sacrifice instead.

I'm trying to find out if it's cool to do or not =P Anyone have any precedence on this sort of thing?

Hello everyone,

My apologies if this question has popped up previously, I seem to find a lot of the same information whenever searching through Google in regards to the Bag of Holding. Either links to shops to buy a Computer/Messenger Bag, or rehashing the same information from the book detailing the weight, capacity, etc of the Bag.

My question is a bit more specific.

You see, I'm curious about how different interactions affect the Bag of Holding. Not the normal "What happens when you put a Bag of Holding inside a Portable Hole" thing... but similar in their oddity:

1) If you turn a Bag of Holding upside down, will the contents fall out?
1a) If Yes, can you stop the larger items by limiting the bag of holding's opening?
1b) If No, would the desire to have those items fall out change the way the bag of holding interacts?

For instance, if I wanted to dump all my stuff out of my Bag of Holding, could I? If I wanted just the small items, could I secure the opening then shake it about some? Also, if I were to somehow have the bag of holding turned upside down, knocked about, etc, would the items spill out?

Next question is assuming you can limit what does and doesn't come out by reducing the opening size. Presumably I would think that a Shield would not fit through the hole if you squeezed it in your hand, but a piece of chalk could fall out.

Let's say I fill a Bag of Holding to the brim with water; then clamp the opening closed as tight as I can and push with all my might on the back of the Bag of Holding. Would the water get pushed out of the opening? I ask, thinking that the more force you put onto the bag to push the water out, the higher the water pressure is when it comes out.

Finally, if my Bag of Holding is crushed, would the items inside of it be broken?

Thank-you all for your help =)
