You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I did everything I could; this particular check is on the periphery of my specialty. Sorry, meatbags.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

What happens if you turn a bag of holding inside out?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

What happens if you turn a bag of holding inside out?

Can the bag contain itself?

Or, perhaps it is like Wonko the Sane's house "The Outside of the Asylum," where the inside is the outside.

I actually find myself curious about what would happen when you put it the right way around again.

I can say with a great deal of certainty that Wizards of the Coast would say "you can't turn a bag of holding inside out". There's nothing in the DMG to prevent a DM from ruling otherwise - in which case it could be anything.

Personally, it gives me a headache thinking about it; any player who tried it in a game I ran would either simply fail, or hand me their character sheet and therefore make a new character. "Oh, sorry - that experiment went seriously awry. I hope you weren't too attached to him/her..."

Cuz I'm an evil bastard that way.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I'd probably save myself a headache and simply rule that they now have an inside-out bag. Any contents of the bag are now scattered on the ground around whoever turned it inside out. If the put it back the right way, it works again.

Though if I wanted to be mean and they had anything with sharp corners in the bag, there could be a chance the bag gets ruptured as they turn it inside out, destroying the bag and scattering a random amount of its contents into the Ethereal Plane. (Was it the Astral Plane that the stuff got dumped to in the case of a rupture.)

Of course, if a player really wanted to give their DM a headache, they could turn their Bag of Holding inside out and then drop it in a Portable Hole.
