Background

The portable hole's provenance is unclear. Fine cloth of this quality is not made on the Alden Peninsula, and no record of its import appears in the Crownward Ledger.

Properties

Wondrous item, rare — no attunement required (Dungeon Master's Guide)

This fine black cloth, soft as silk, is folded to the dimensions of a handkerchief. It unfolds into a circular sheet 6 feet in diameter.

You can use an action to unfold the portable hole and place it on or against a solid surface, whereupon it creates an extradimensional cylindrical hole 10 feet deep. Any creature inside an open portable hole can exit by climbing out of it. You can use an action to close the hole by taking hold of the edges of the cloth and folding it up; any creatures or objects within remain in the extradimensional space.

If the hole is folded up with a creature inside, the trapped creature can use an action to make a DC 10 Strength check, forcing its way out on a success and appearing within 5 feet of the portable hole or the creature carrying it. A breathing creature in a closed portable hole can survive for 10 minutes before it begins to suffocate.

The portable hole weighs nothing, regardless of what is stored inside.

Warning: Placing a portable hole inside an extradimensional space created by a bag of holding, handy haversack, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is pulled through to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate closes immediately and cannot be reopened.
