Portable Hole is pretty much the rare version.
Something that might warrant upping the rarity would be to increase the dimensions, as normal bag of holding might not fit polearms if they can't diagonally fit within the 4x4x4ft cube and to give it some extra effect, such as being able to support creatures longer, preserving bodies/food intact or perhaps being able to produce an item once per day as an object interaction, rather than an action. Maybe the bag repairs items placed inside or replenishes magic item charges? Maybe the bag becomes indestructible with higher rarity? Maybe a legendary variant can expel items or creature inside into the astral via some kind of activation?
Thanks! My party's BOH was stolen in the Feywild, and Queen Titania will be involved in its return. A little upgrade to make it worth their trouble sounds appropriate, and I love these ideas.
It would really need some secondary effects, besides storage, to be worth Rare+ rating.
Maybe if creatures could survive in the bag for longer than 10 minutes so it would work as a temporary shelter or a place to long rest in.
Don't forget the space limit. If you up the weight, you're more likely to hit the space limit.
With the normal bag of holding your packing density lower limit is 125kg per cubic meter. That's pretty generous.
With a weight limit of 1500lb, suddenly you have to fit 375kg per cubic foot of bag space if you don't want to run out of room. Still not hard to do, especially if you're carrying a lot of dense things like steel and gold, but worth considering.
Other than upping capacity (type 4 used to go up to 2000lbs) you could add something like accessibility, basically letting someone retrieve an item as a bonus action rather than an action.
Legendary Bag of Holding
- Can hold up to 5000 pounds.
- When you stow or retrieve an item, the opening of the bag can expand to accomodate for items of proportions much larger than the bag seemingly can contain.
- Retrieving or stowing an item can be used as a free object interaction, therefore doesn't require an action.
- The bag is indestructible by conventional or standard magical means
- The bag has a side pouch that is filled with small crackers which constantly regenerate. Every cracker is as nourishing as 1 day of rations.
- Placing any extradimensional storage space that is less than legendary into it does create an extradimensional mishap, but the legendary bag is strong enough to safely contain it and only the other item is destroyed. Also by doing this the legendary bag gains 1 charge.
- As an action, you can use 1 charge to open the bag and cast the Dark Star spell with a spell save DC of 20.
- Placing a legendary bag of holding inside another legendary bag of holding creates a supermassive black hole that immediately obliterates the solar system (for the Material Plane or its mirror planes) or the entire plane of existence (for any other planes of existence) it is conjured in, killing all creatures inside
