During a difficult fight, the wizard of the party decided to launch an antimagic field. It proved to be quite useful and let the warriors almost take out the opposing wizard. Nevertheless, multiple questions arose during the fight concerning what was happening in the field.
One of them is about the heroes that have a bag of holding.
What would happen to these? Should they burst because of what's inside? Should they return to normal, and the stuff in them be lost into oblivion? Nothing? Do you see any other problems that would happen with magical objects going into the field? (I'm afraid to miss something.)
Best Answer
You wouldn't be able to retrieve any item from the bag of holding while it is inside the antimagic field area of effect. After it leaves the field it will resume to function normally and none of its contents will be lost.
How does Antimagic field affect magic items?
What does it mean?
Is there any other source that tells us what happens to a bag of holding when its magic is suppressed? Yes, it is Dispel magic spell description.
In-game explanation for it is that bag of holding does not contain the objects in itself. It opens a portal to an extradimensional space where its "contents" is actually stored. In an antimagic field the portal stops functioning, just like portable hole or a teleportation circle would. But the antimagic field has no effect on the extradimensional space itself. Thus, objects stored in it remain intact and are accessible as soon as the portal is restored.
Other magical effects are suppressed too. It means they have no effect, but
