Hide magic items in your character body


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Hello guys! So, our GM is going to run new company in Dark sun setting, and there i saw a new race - half-giant and their base size is large(OMG)! So i have two real important questions about game mechanics:
-Will detect magic find magic items inside the body of my half-giant character.
-Is there any way to hide smth like bag of holding or any other extra-dimensional space in the ass of large hal-giant?
Cause as i saw in the core rules there is no way to make bag of holding smaller even for small character.

Detect Magic wrote:
The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.

So yes detect magic would find an item hidden inside of your body unless it was surrounded by a requite quantity of one of the aforementioned things.

Stuff a bag of holding in, facing outwards.

Then stuff in a folded portable hole.

Afterwards, nobody will be able to find either of them!

More seriously, a portable hole folds up as well as a handkerchief, so you could make a quite small lead box to put it in and keep that in whatever orifice you choose, safe from detect magic and many other divinations.

Secret Box -> Shrink Item.

Should result in your focus item reducing to < 1" square piece of fabric.

Follow up with a Magic Aura spell.

I hid this uncomfortable hunk of magic up my &@$ for two years until, seven years after me and your dad were captured, I was sent home from that prison camp. And now I'm here to give you your father's magic watch, Jimmy...


Thanks you all, your advices gave me some ideas.
Also i have found this cool item: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/m-p/pathf inder-pouch/ which can be used at low levels. (Our company is starting from level 4)
