    Note: Yes I know the objects in the bag would take up volume, but in this specific case, the avg. volume of a human is negligible compared to the 64ft3 of the bag's capacity.

      Good episode Kyle, came out right as I am waiting for the paramedics to take my dad to the ER for vomiting what seems to be bags of blood.

      What about the items that aren't the "breathing creature" and the space they take up? I can say that I have never been playing a game of DnD and had my bag of holding but not an amount of items that would take up a significant percentage of the available volume inside it. I constantly have several weapons and a ton of generic adventuring supplies along with food.

    The problem with these calculations is that they assume the bag's volume is a constant.
    It's not.
    The whole point of the bag is that it can hold that huge volume of stuff, but you can always reach whatever you want right at the mouth of the bag.
    It's better to think of the bag as an elastic space that has a maximum stretch of 1.8m^3, which is why you run out of air so quick if you hide inside one - the bag will only accommodate your size space and not much else, so it's more akin to being in a tight coffin than a huge room.

      @bobdole4916 3 роки тому +95

      @@crankpatate3303 Yep - the bag has no suction, and the magic requires intent. Things have to be put into the bag, and since people in D&D can't grab air, they can't really add it to the bag.
      There *is* a way to actually pull it off though.
      There's another magical item called a Bottle of Air (or Wind). The Bottle of Air can be used to breath underwater - or in this case, from within the Bag of Holding. The Bottle of Wind releases a fierce wind when it's uncorked, so you could use it to fill the bag with air. There's spells that have similar actions, but spells are limited and usually require a spell slot. The Bottles of Air & Wind can be reused indefinitely, though they might have a limit to how often or how long they can be used at a time (or both).

      I would say you could suck air in through a snorkel that was sticking out of the bag... but otherwise no. You could also use a blower or pump to try and fill it with air, but that's a lot of work and noise for the payoff.
      Also - this gives us a pretty good idea (using Kyle's formula) how much air is in the bag-at-rest... when closed, the bag collapses down to a size equivalent to it's contents + roughly 0.124m^3 of air.

    2. "Elf Scientist" - Scientist isn't a class but I'd allow it
    3. "Confusingly Grid-Based World" - What is this, 4th Edition?
    4. "Dexterity Check [15]" - Personally, I would make this a contested Sleight of Hand check, but a Dexterity check is actually pretty accurate.
    5. "Put stuff in it space and then forget about it until you're reminded by your DM a couple weeks later" - Yeah sounds about right.
    6. "Your party encounters an absolute gorgeous, talking rectangle" - Sounds like a mysterious obelisk straight outta Chult. Don't touch it.
    7. "You appear humanoid to me" - Humanoid is my creature type, so yeah accurate.
    8. "Unless you're a Greater Necromancer" - A Greater Necromancer sounds rad af, regular Necromancers as a player class are kinda underwhelming.
    9. "Perception Check! [12]" - To dodge a Fireball, you'd actually make a Dexterity Saving Throw, not a Perception check. But, seeing as how it was small, and you didn't take any damage, you would either have to be a Rogue or Monk with Evasion, or it's actually a Firebolt cantrip, in which case the caster makes a spell attack roll against your Armor Class.
    10. "Nice try Kevin, you should've speced into Mage dumb-dumb" - No "Mage" class, but Wizard would be the closest. And it is technically possible to "spec" into Wizard if your DM allows Multiclassing. Although, in order to cast spells you'd have to have at least one spellcasting class already leveled at least once.
    11. "Now it's time for some math, something board game players know almost nothing about" - While D&D technically isn't a board game, I do play board games, and I also know almost nothing about math, so...accurate for me I guess.
    12. "The Goblin King of Red Hollow" - That sounds exactly like something that would be in a D&D game.
    13. "Your party encounters, definitely not a supervillain, and Lola, who has like, so much HP, don't even think about it" - Pretty sure I've said almost those exact words as a DM
    14. "The oxygen levels in that space will go down, and the carbon dioxide levels will go up, like the amount of body odor at your local game store on game night" - The one thing I don't miss from pre-covid times.
    15. "I cast, DISPLAY EQUATION!" - God I wish that were a spell
    16. "What were they trying to do, design a game that's playable in real time?" - Yeah haha what losers haha
    17. "An item that small wouldn't even hold a frost trolls attention span" - Frost Trolls aren't a thing, at least not in the latest edition, but you said that with enough fake confidence that I believed you for a second. Well done.
    18. "The land with grid on it" - What is this, 4th- oh wait I already made that joke
    19. "A classic D&D monster like the Reverse Centaur" - A yes, a classic.
    20. "A Warrior Squirrel" - Adorable. I want a party full of them.
    21. "Questing through the Duke of Barbaria's lands. Definitely not a guy and a place I just made up" - Hey now you're getting it! It's all made up! All of it!

    Now that we're talking D&D, I've been having the doubt about flying mounts.
    If a Quetzalcoatlus is considered a Huge beast, but a real life one is only as heavy as a bear, shouldn't it have an ability that limits it's carry weight?
    With that thought in mind, would a large sized Giant Eagle be able to pick up a medium size humanoid or a medium sized vulture (did some research, it seems that the closest thing to 5e vultures are Argentavis and Pelagornis, size-wise) be able to pick up a small sized Kobold?
    (I kinda came up to the pattern that a flying beast, with no aid from a magic source, would be considered 1 size smaller for carrying, pushing, and pulling things; kinda the opposite of Powerful Build/Beast of Burden).
    Also, would a creature be considered 1 size bigger for carrying stuff when moving something underwater?

    • @danieltilson4053
      @danieltilson4053 2 роки тому +1

      Using real life values alongside in game carry weights, I determined that an Eagle, or similar bird, can fly off with approximately 10-13% of its carry weight. This being due to the fact that IRL, an eagle can fly off with things around 8-12 pounds, and using the carry limits in the book, they can carry 90 pounds. So, if we continue using this figure, a giant eagle, having a 16 strength, and being a large creature, can carry 480, and could fly with anywhere from 48-63 pounds.
      This is of course, only using figures for what an eagle can comfortably fly with irl, as they tend to not grab things heavier than that. But, even if we double the amount, they would struggle with the average medium humanoid.

  • @TyrackLP
    @TyrackLP 3 роки тому +335

    The way I always understood bags of holding, is that each object you drop in there, creates its own separate space, just as much as It needs, wich all put together cant exceed the limit of the bag. I know thats not exactly supported by the text, but usually with a bag of holding you dont have to worry about the anvil you put in there crushing the carton of eggs and fine china you put in earlier, supporting my interpretation.

    • @danilooliveira6580
      @danilooliveira6580 3 роки тому +56

    • @probablythedm1669
      @probablythedm1669 3 роки тому +46

      Yeah. It seems more plausibe it would create a separate demiplane for each object to safely store it, up to a maximum total volume, rather than be one large space, since none of the objects in the bag appear to affect each other and are all within reach so long as you know they are there.

    • @nehpets216
      @nehpets216 3 роки тому +19

      From my understanding of the bags, it is a contained amount of space (pre-separated and stays separated) that parcels itself out around each of the objects as the object enters (including your hand) and once you let go of the object it remains in that space until you desire that object. The difficulty in enchanting the bags was based on how much volume of cubic space you were attaching to the object.
      So, it's like plastic wrap that recombines when the object is completely removed. When you reach in the wrap goes around the object and hand, when you let go the amount used stays on the object that you let go of and in generally the same spot. When you reach in again you are in a new space made from the wrap that isn't touching the space where the last object was let go, and so you put the new object into the same spot. When you reach in to get something you make the space that you are currently reaching into shift to the space where that object was left.
      This is why my group played with the rules that the bag could be enchanted to stop time for the object entering and that it wouldn't effect your hand since you were still mostly outside the bag.

So, the only time that air actually gets in is when you're putting something in (only a second or so).

    This assumes the Bag of Holding is filled with a normal composition of air. Considering it is an extradimensional space, created probably as a vaccum, it'd probably only have the air that gets sucked into it every time it's opened. Or any air immediately around any object you put into it.

    • @josephpettit1519
      @josephpettit1519 3 роки тому +1

      Given that Bags of holding have multiple different sizes and it talks about putting too much in causing it to rupture, it sounds like the interior of the bag is analogous to a balloon, which means the interior takes up the volume of the combined objects rather than a fixed size (like a portable hole). So, the amount of breathable air would just be at the orifice, i.e. the volume of the non-magical sack that it resembles. So, that's like 2 cubic feet, which is like 1/32nd the maximum capacity (64 cu ft). So the calculation would go from 145ish minutes down to the 4-5 minute range. If you figure in holding your breath for a few minutes and then a few minutes between unconscious and death, then yea, that's about 10 minutes. Numbers are not precise because it is magic. And since the rules specify a time, and your calculation is off, then the calculation is missing something. Much like trying to model the real world and model not yielding the same results as reality.
      Edit: Oooh, I see someone else mentioned the bag was 2x4x1. So 8 cu ft. Which is 1/8th the volume not 1/32. So, that's 18 minutes. A lot closer and within tolerance of speculated variables like gas concentration.

    @kylehill Would like to mention that further clarifications to the description of the Bag of Holding state that no breathable air is present inside the extradimensional space it opens to. Food doesn't spoil, no decay occurs, etc. Nothing oxidizes. So technically the 10 minutes that Wizards gives to people who enter the Bag of Holding is reliant on the rule that a heroic character at least in the 3.5 edition of the game can hold their breath for 1 minute +1 Minute per point of Constitution Modifier, then they must make increasingly difficult Fortitude Saves, increasing by +1 every round, until death occurs after 2 failed saves. On AVERAGE, that is 1 minute and then 7 successful saves (7 more minutes) with 2 failed saves afterward resulting death (Minutes 9 and 10).
    Note that the average human character has a 10 in their Constitution in 3.5 and that means a +0 modifier. With 1 as the minimum variable here due to the laws of the game, the reason you have 10 minutes in a Bag of Holding is that you only have the air you bring with you, and once that's used up, it's get out or die of suffication

    The way my game plays it, items tossed into the bag of holding are stored in their own individual little pocket dimension, which is how you dont actually have to rummage around to find the thing you want. You reach in, think of what you want, and suddenly you're reaching into that particular pocket dimension. So if a person is tossed into a bag of holding, they'll be in a pocket space that can essentially only hold them and nothing else until they are able to force their way out again, or are pulled out, rather than a space that equals the maximum found inside a bag of holding.

      That's certainly a good descriptor for why it would work, but I still don't think it'd work well with D&D 5e mechanics.
      Within the mechanics of the game, a fire bolt essentially hits or misses the target as soon as it's cast, so spotting one and acting immediately would be mechanically difficult.
      What if you wanted to move before the fire bolt was cast? Well if you happened to see a mage casting a fire bolt and wanted to move before they did, you'd likely roll Initiative to see if you're quicker than them. That's if you're not already in combat.
      Even if it was a matter of seeing the spell early, passive perception is what's generally used for seeing things unless the character is specifically looking for something (though I've seen many differ from this)
      The closest thing I could imagine to a perception check allowing you to evade a fire bolt would be if the mage casting it was hidden from the party.
      This could work! Well, kind of.
      If the player makes a perception check and sees the evil mage before the mage's turn, the character could drop prone, which looks like what Kyle did. That would give disadvantage on a fire bolt which could make the difference between a hit and a miss. In this instance, the player would have to act before the spell was cast.
      And Fireball, well that's an entirely different story as it explodes in an area instead of 'attacking' a single player. That one requires a Dexterity Saving Throw and to be honest, a Dex save does look like what Kyle was doing here.
      Sorry for the stupid long reply, I like nerding over little things like this.

    Kyle, did you forget that the Bag of Holding Demiplane is in the Void of Space, and that you have a Size variable which you forgot to factor in as well.

    Thus, you have roughly ten minutes, and then you have no Atmosphere.

    My group always assumed the bag, being an extra dimensional space, would have no atmosphere of its own.

(Nevermind the host of other problems this would cause.)

    Thanks for the awesome video! I think there is one more thing worth considering: we optimally breathe at ~20% oxygen concentration, but already at about 14% we get quickly exhausted unable to do any physical activity, and at about 6% we lose all HP. I had to learn these things as I work regularly with large quantities of liquid nitrogen, and the main hazard with it is surprisingly not frost, but asphyxiation by nitrogen boiling and replacing oxygen. It is a silent killer! You don't realize when it is too late and you can't save yourself because of losing motoric functions. On this cheerful note, bless ;)

  • @AaronLitz
    @AaronLitz 3 роки тому +1

    I think I'll actually use this for my games. Back in 1st Edition AD&D there was no limit to breathing time included in the rules for the Bag of Holding, because 1E just gave you the numbers and let you calculate those things for yourself, as you did right here (for example, casting a Fireball spell was an exercise in calculating how much cubic volume an expanding 20' radius explosion would fill... an astute Magic-User could easily sterilize an entire connected series of small chambers with a single Fireball, but conversely it was very common for sloppy Magic-Users to catch themselves in their own Fireballs.)
    So what I'm saying is that these were the kinds of calculations we were making a lot for 1st Edition.

      Fun anecdote for 1E - DM'ing for a wizard who decides to throw a fireball into a 20' square x 10' high room, and watching his face as I tell him just how badly he calculated that (also, fireballs exerted pressure back then).

  • @BattleSpew
    @BattleSpew 3 роки тому +1

    There is one variable unaccounted for: The true nature of the Bag of Holding. I refer to a short story printed in Dragon Magazine, many years ago, which describes a cursed version of the bag, known as a Bag of Devouring. This "bag" turns out to be the extraplanar mouth of a living creature.
    IF Bags of Holding were originally designed around these "mouths", then it is quite possible that a side-effect of the enchantments means that the bags are in some manner "alive", and therefore also consume oxygen. And, if this is true, then the much greater rate at which the Bag breathes and uses oxygen will be vastly faster than most creatures residing within, and therefore a single creature inside will generally end up with no more than 10 minutes before sufficient oxygen is consumed by the bag itself that the creature expires.

  • @goliathcleric
    @goliathcleric 3 роки тому +168

    Surprisingly, the size of the creature inside the bag is almost irrelevant. Despite an average sized human likely feeling a little cramped inside a bag of holding, they nonetheless displace just 75,000 cubic centimeters of volume, or 0.07 cubic meters. Reevaluating the two equations presented while accounting for the displaced volume shows that one would run out of oxygen in 1453.2 minutes, and one would reach 3% CO2 concentration in 138.4 minutes. Ultimately, a difference of approximately 4.5%, which in comparison to the original time of 10 minutes from WOTC, is negligible.

    I loved this lol. I understand you've never played and I always love to see the Rules As Written challenged by science.
    I would like to educate you some without coming off as upset or contributing to the hatefulness that comment sections usually come off as. Some people probably already have mentioned some if not all of what im going to say, but TLDR lol.
    In the video you're assuming the bag allows air flow. Rightly so, most bags do, but most bags also exist soley on the Material Plane, the plane of existance we currently exist in.
    Further along in the text for the bag's description it begins mentioning outcomes of tampering with the bag that involve the Astral Plane. Through magic the bag acts as an extension into a pocket of the Astral Plane that is self contained. There is no atmosphere to speak of on the Astral Plane and so the entry point into the bag uses magic to keep the two seperate while allowing dense matter to pass through. Gases and other less dense matter from the Material Plane have a harder time casually entering this Astral Plane "pocket".
    This information leads most players into the understanding that this bag has no conventional air or atmosphere present, and the lack of these makes it nearly into a vacuum, which again is contained by magic. The text on the bag describes the outcomes of tampering with this containment.
    So, the 10 min timeline for "breathing creatures" to survive does work with the understanding that the bag has no air or atmosphere. They suffocate.
    I hope this explaination was interesting at the very least, I love your show and love the challenges you put forth within every episode.
    On another note, you should try D&D sometime. It can be very fun and relaxing with the right group of people :)

      Depends on the version, in 5e it is specifically said that creatures 'start' to suffocate after 10 minutes % by number of creatures, but the bag is still an extra dimensional space designed to hold items so it makes sense that it does not have a suitable atmosphere.

      An additional point: each object in a bag of holding occupies a strict partition of the pocket dimension. (Evidenced by the fact that you cannot simply reach in and feel around for things, instead having to think of the item you want and it appears in your hand.) If these partitions are air tight, then even before we account for the creature's displaced volume, we're probably working with a volume of air that is a fraction of the bag's total volume.

    Suggested variable: density. A bag of holding is much bigger on the inside, which means each inch outside is stretched on the inside (or inches inside are crunched compared to outside). Air then becomes thinner and harder to breathe? Or, because I'm bad at math does the opposite happen and the airs thicker?
