Sometimes you want a slightly cursed item. Nothing really super bad but somewhat bad, or maybe just a little bit humorous. Just to add some flavor.
So when you don't want to go full on Bag of Devouring with a PCs Bag of Holding here is a quick chart to give them a different, hopefully more memorable, side affect.
Twenty odd side affects for a Bag of
Holding.
1 – Everything comes out feeling just
a tad bit slimy.
2 – All ropes, strings, scarfs, etc
come out tied in nots.
3 – Whenever you have two or more
similar items in the bag (example one magic sword and one regular
sword) you have to roll to see which one you pull out.
4 – Everything comes out with an ID
tag tied to saying it's something that it is not.
5 – Whenever you reach into the bag
it feels like hands tugging at your arm and item you are grabbing.
6 – When you pull an item out of the
bag it makes a loud screaming noise.
7 – The bag appears to breath and at
night it even snores.
8 – When jostled around the bag makes
a sound like a snake rattle.
9 – Any blank parchment placed inside
comes out covered in badly written poetry.
10 – Black soot seems to leak from
the bag at random times.
11 – Whenever a spell is cast nearby
that targets the undead the bag jerks, twitches and moves around.
12 – If you look into the bag you see
a big eye staring at you from the bottom.
13 – Any empty containers placed in
the bag come out filled with chalk dust.
14 – Spiders crawl out of the bag
from time to time. All sizes and varieties.
15 – Perishable food placed inside
goes bad five times faster than normal.
16 – Any water stored inside comes
out as tea.
17 – When you reach inside your hand
comes out with your fingernails painted in different colors and
designs.
18 – Most metal objects that have
been in the bag for more than a week come out magnetized.
19 – Anything flammable that has been
in the bag for more than a week now burns with an odd green flame.
20 – Everything comes out slightly
hot when touched.
