A star walks into a black hole but doesn't seen phased. The black hole then turns to the star and says, "I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation."
HA!!!
Note to self; don't eat dinner while reading jokes
Lol
@@herosam93 yeah a bit of veal in your lung isn't good
*cough cough.*
I had a bunch of giant badgers dig a hole deep enough for no one to find the body then buried the badger with the body because no witnesses. In case your wondering where the body came from it was the body of someone who was getting in the parties way, and I was playing a rogue so stabby stabby.
Every time anyone pulled anything out of my bag of tricks we rolled a badger/giant badger and we never identified it, so she thought it was a bag of badgers!
Way back in AD&D... my father tells of a story, where his friend used a bag of tricks to bypass a bridge troll. The troll was very much set on dinner, and thought the party looked like a hot meal delivery. They had JUST gotten through a rough encounter and were hoping to get to town before dark, but the troll had woken up to toll. Because that's how they do.
Then the wizard had an idea. He walked up to the troll and told him in Giant-ish that he had a great trick that would make him not be so hungry. A few waves of his hand, he reaches into his sleeve, pulls out a ferret and hucks it at the troll's face. This was a particularly dumb troll, so the DM made a quick check behind the scenes... and the troll just kind of stood there for a moment, trying to work out how the hell a human had a ferret up it's sleeve. Do *all* humans have ferrets? And similarly deep, for a dumb troll, questions.
Being a pro team of gamers (and Paranoia veterans), the party didn't waste one damn second to scuttle across the bridge and by the time the troll figured it out, even the ferret had run off to safety.
Now that's is some heavy contemplation
JD and his bag of tricks lol
A decanter of endless water, a bag of tricks, sovereign glue and a funnel...combine everything with a bit of magic and you'll get a badger launcher. It can even be upgraded to a rhino-zooka.
I want a full explanation on this, how exactly does it work and what do I do to make this a viable character build? 😂
@@rachelkelley5930 with the full explanation technically as long as your DM doesn't reject it if you're an artificer I don't see why it would be a problem
@@borttorbbq2556 I get that, but what exactly are the actions performed to make this happen?
@@rachelkelley5930 I saw this on a webcomic called Rusty and Co
Yes adult D&D 18 plus only allowed the crazy s*** that will would happen in that session would be golden some of the best content would be created that day
Bag of tricks is a rogues handy tool. Free help action to fish for sneak attack crits.
If you want to go capitalist with D&D then have a service where before your loved one goes on a trip the two of you meet an organist at a place that provides this service and then they will know the individual so they can you sending to send a message. You could also have a sketch artist draw the pictures of the individuals who are leaving town just for an extra visual reminder.
Alternative use for BoT... knowing when it is dawn if you're stuck in a dungeon and don't have a watch.
Good afternoon and go blue!

My table calls it a bag of bullshit
And my character had such luck, to always pull out the most suitable animal for the party..
XD
The bag of rations is amazing.
I didn’t get this the first time I read it… I get it now and part of me wishes I did not. 😂
@@rachelkelley5930 You wouldn't like my gnome cleric master chef then. Meat can be a renuable resource.
@@EzekialRagel and now I’m curious, I need to know more! I will probably regret asking but that is a problem for future me. Also the reason part of me wishes I didn’t understand your original comment is because I find it hilarious
I might have to give my party a bag of tricks and see what they do with it.
A bag of tricks, but as a slot machine.
Short on gold? Use the bag of tricks to open a BBQ shop in town and smoke random animals.
Remember. Meat consumed as comfort food is technically considered an emotional support animal
Bag of tricks save my life. Three bears a razor beak and a tiger distract a white dragon just long enough for my party to sneak out of rope trick and fire a magic ballista at it .
I like the bag of tricks. we got a wish spell and to stop the evil guy from making a wish to rule the world I wished for a bowl of clam chowder. he was pissed.
Never found a good use for a bag of tricks. Except maybe that one time we gifted one to a maimed NPC so he'd have a never ending parade of emotional support animals. But I do like the idea of 'bag of tricks' gachapons placed around the realm. That seems like a great way to sow some chaos....
Action Eonomy; enough said.

Cool
Oh I just went and forgot the name of the deck of cards where you pull it out and it's random, but yeah that that deck. I wish I could remember the name, now I'm not going to sleep for days until i do. But put that deck of cards in a bag of holding that no matter what you try to pull out you just pull out one of those cards, upon pulling it out it activates. Maybe like a voice activation that when you pull it out it says some random magic word coming out of the mouth of the bag like Tada or Abracadabra something along that line maybe one of the lines could be you're really F'd now, it's always random. would that help? How about this the bag is cursed that you can never throw it away. even if you do it reappears back on your belt again, let's say, in place of your coin purse so that your coin purse now disappears and is left wherever you left the bag. Now every time you reach for a dagger or a coin or whatever doesn't matter your hand automatically goes into the bag and pulls out a card.
Deck of Many Things
@@ShakaarGaleed thank you so much oh I was so scared I was not going to sleep for days. You're a lifesaver. So are you orange green yellow what flavor. Haha. No but really did you read the idea about the bag being cursed I mean you could really screw with a party. think about the first time that they actually throw it away and it exchanged itself for a current coin purse and they go to pay for something and then all the sudden they pull out that random card. I mean that would really really screw with them. think about it, that could be an adventure in itself, how they got the bag? maybe it was a way of getting revenge against the party from some kind of deity that created the pouch just for that specific purpose and now they have to figure out a way to get rid of the bag only they can't seem to get rid of the bag!?! I mean this could go on for a long time just an idea.
life is just one..
Hi
You didn't actually give any uses for it other than "go badger!" :( Anyone have any uses for this thing outside of a punching bag?
I like dropping the fuzz balls into peoples homes (through open doors, windows, chimneys etc) to cause a distraction.
Sell the animals to farmers as work animals (they are well trained and listen to your commands) as a scam then skip town.
Or sell the animals on the up and up as a one day rental service.
If you're being followed in the forest or a dungeon you can send the animals out of sight another way to make noise the opposite direction you're heading.
The animals along with the forest gnomes 'speak with small beasts' feature or a speak with animals spell, or the beast sense spell can act as a scout.
Use the 'weasel', 'jackal', 'owl', or 'rat' you rolled as an animal messenger for your spell of the same name.
See what your dm does when you force-feed someone a fuzz ball then roll a bear or giant elk.
Keep the animals on lookout while your party rests.
Have the animals act as lookout during a heist.
Use the animals to check for traps (or predators in a hostile environment)
Use the fuzzball in a magic or performance act like a pulling a dove (or a panther... or giant elk) out of a hat trick situation.
Use one of the smaller creatures to smuggle an item into an area like to poison some food with a pill or to plant evidence.
Using beast sense on an animal then slipping it into a room would allow you to see inside of the room and therefor allow you to teleport in with misty step as long as you are within 30ft of the spot. Or you can target a creature with a spell through the eyes of the animal as long as the target is within range allowing you to keep hitting them with something like catapult making items around the room fly at them, or dissonant whispers/toll the dead making an ominous sound cause the target to begin to perish.
Make a mount for any small party member.
Obviously as you may have been able to tell, this item (at least from what I can think of) can be a little more useful for characters built for espionage and infiltration or a druid or ranger so they can have a reliable way to get a willing beast for their spells like beast sense or animal messenger. But the animals are great for combat at lower levels especially if you can make them beforehand, so you don't need to use an action to make them mid combat and just need your bonus action to command them. If your DM lets you, you could command two animals to follow the third one (almost like its the designated leader) and just attack whatever he/she attacks, and then you may be able to get away with just commanding the leader to attack someone or something and the other two will follow suit. Effectively letting you command all 3 in combat with a singular bonus action!
Let's just pretend someone wouldn't know what the _Bag of Tricks_ does, maybe you should explain it... And I don't mean myself nope, no-no... I know exactly what it does... It is a Bag... Full of Tricks...
Can someone help me? Please?!
I don’t remember the details but, you pull a thing out of it and said thing becomes an animal (you don’t get to pick which animal.) It’s the sort of magic item you have to be creative to get the best use out of (like the decanter of endless water, and a bunch of others I can’t remember right now)
Iirc, You can pull out of the bag up to 3 per day of what feels like a tribble and once it's out you roll on the bag's table to see what animal it morphs into. It's friendly to you and will do what you want. At dawn if it's still around (not been killed) it vanishes.
