| : What happens when you:
| : 	(a) Turn a Bag of Holding inside-out?
| 
| Tough call.  I'd say you can't.  You certainly can't reach inside and
| pull the bottom out through the top.  And I'd say that trying to push
| the bottom up through the mouth wouldn't work:  It would "stop" at the
| mouth.  Either that, or you'd destroy the bag, creating a small hole
| to the astral plane (where all extradimensional spaces are...)

	You could use the % chance given for when putting a bag of
holding in a portable hole (vice versa and bags in bags and holes in
holes). Something about great chance of just destroying both items and
small chance of creating a planar rift and catapulting everything within
180 (?) feet into the Astral Plane ;-)

| : 	(b) Cast Chainlightning in a Rope Trick?
| 
| Kiss your butt goodbye.

	Agreed.

| : 	(c) Cast Rope Trick inside a Rope Trick and the first one ends?
| 
| You can't--You can't open up an extradimensional space within an
| extradimensional space.  The same reason you can't use your
| extradimensional spaces while on the Astral plane.

	Could use rule about bag of holding in portable hole (see above)

| : 	(d) Eat the horse summoned by Mount?
| 
| It goes away.  You're left malnourished.  I'd give you a certain
| amount of damage in the withdrawal from the system.

	Could rule it's pure magic and not made of meat.  Could rule
it attacks you (wouldn't you attack someone if they were trying to
eat YOU?).  Could rule both.  Could rule it dispells horse.  Could rule
it runs away.

| : 	(e) Feed people Troll pieces?
| 
| The acid in their stomachs would destroy it.  If you can get them to
| keep it down, that is.  They're either not going to want to eat it, or
| they'll retch afterwards.  Probably all over you.

	Pretty sure it's digestable.  Most meat has at least _some_
nourishment.  Sounds positively revolting and, unless they had no clue
what it was, they probably would puke it up.  That is, if it doesn't
already smell and taste disgusting.  Wouldn't matter if they knew then ;-)

| : 	(f) Are an elf polymorphed into a Fire Giant and are about to have
| : 	    children with your new Fire Giant wife?
| 
| You'll get some neato mutants.
| ;)

	Mutants!  10-ft thick flaming-haired ugly elves!  10-ft thin
brown-haired beautiful giants!  Or whatever else sounds good ;-)

	Want a neato 4th level death spell (AD&D)?  Polymorph a land
dweller into a goldfish!  If miss save, watch 'em drown in air!  They
even change back when they die so you can get the treasure ;-)
