So, I was looking at the bag of tricks and thought to myself, "This seems pretty straight forward."
Yeah right.
I don't know if I'm putting this in the right spot, but I wanted to know a couple of specific things.
First, if you reach into the bag and throw a furry ball after you have already summoned a creature, do you then have the second creature materialize and the first blink out of existence? Or, does the first ball blink out? The question is basically one of casting, I think. Is the first ball no longer legitimate or is the second.
Second, if you have two bags of tricks (let's just say tan and red), what is to prevent you from reaching into both bags at once and dropping each ball at your feat as two move actions and two free actions?
If anyone can answer this or explain anything (links?) about the bag of tricks, I would appreciate it. The more rules-lawyery the better!
Huzzah!

1) "The animal serves the character who drew it from the bag for 10 minutes (or until slain or ordered back into the bag), at which point it disappears."
2) "Animals produced are always random, and only one may exist at a time."
If I pull out a rat, that rat exists for ten minutes or until it reenters the bag or dies. There are no other ways for it to leave. It cannot simply be willed away. Pulling out another fuzzball does not make the rat stop existing, therefore pulling out another fuzzball cannot generate another creature until the rat stops existing.

Activating a magic item is a standard action unless stated otherwise. The Bag of Tricks is no exception, even if it's a bag-shaped magic item.
