The Smuggler's Pouch  [Printer-friendly version]
by Craig Lewis
Posted on 18-Dec-2007

Smuggler's Pouch

When found on its own, this item appears to be nothing more than a strip of well-tanned leather or fine cloth, about 4" long and 1" wide, with a 3" long slit cut cleanly into the center. The slit is the access point to the small extradimensional storage space that is the Pouch itself.

The Pouch has a total storage capacity equivalent to a 6" by 6" by 6" box, and a maximum weight capacity of 5 pounds. Items to be placed in the pouch must fit through a 3" square opening, and cannot be more than 1' long.

The Pouch has additional features, accessible by different command words:

Attach: when pressed against an article of clothing and this command word spoken, the Pouch blends into the article of clothing, its outward appearance duplicating the pattern of the cloth.
The following 3 commands only apply when the Pouch is attached as above:

Detach:
This removes the pouch.

Close: The seam vanishes. Nothing can be added or removed from the pouch.

Open: The seam appears, and the contents can be accessed as normal.

When attached, Detect Magic will indicate minor transmutational magic at the location of the Pouch. When Detached, the "pouch" is somewhat more obvious: Detect Magic, any spell which can detect an invisible object, the Sight, and Sense the Unseen (as well as any other similar effect, at the DM's discretion) can "see" the pouch-like outline "beneath" the slit.

Cost: 1000 gp
Prereqs: Craft Constant Item, Fey Storage, Raiment
CL 1

Author's note:  This item fills 2 purposes that I can see.  Smuggling is the obvious;  the second, though, is to provide small-scale, safe, secure personal storage. This pouch doesn't have strings to cut like a belt pouch, and is attached to something you're wearing. You wouldn't leave it behind in a rush, as you might with a bag of holding or a handy haversack.  I wouldn't suggest extending this to create something with, say, more weight capacity as a routine item;  the existing storage items do that job for a better price, at the cost of being more obvious.
