Right.  ;)  And I've had idiots who decide, when in desperate
situations, to do just that.  It's easier to get away on the Astral
plane...  ;)

: | : 	(b) Cast Chainlightning in a Rope Trick?

: 	Agreed.

It seems so simple.  ;)

: | : 	(c) Cast Rope Trick inside a Rope Trick and the first one ends?

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

I wouldn't allow the spell to work--Moving an existing
extra-dimensional space into an existing extra-dimensional space is
different than creating one than creating another from within the
first.

Actually, depending on what the person wanted, I might just have it
"add a room" to the extradimensional space, perhaps extending the
enchantments to make it double in size...  or something.  But not
likely.  That's a "life or death" kind of call...

: | : 	(d) Eat the horse summoned by Mount?

: 
: 	Could rule it's pure magic and not made of meat.  Could rule

Except that it's not:  It's a summoned creature (btw, I always take
the nearest one, so if you're in a city, you're going to tick someone
off.  ;)  It's the fun way to do it).

: 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.

Actually, I'd say kill it and its dispelled.  And it won't let you eat
it while it's alive.  If it gets its leg chopped off and it's still
alive, eat up.  But it won't stay in your stomach long.

: | : 	(e) Feed people Troll pieces?
: 	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 ;-)

Trolls are disgusting, their meat practically inedible, in my world.
But if you can eat it, and keep it down, it's got GREAT nourishment
potential.  Eating a little bit keeps producing nourishment in your
stomach for a little (LITTLE) while, but it gives you more of a
benefit than normal meat.  Tastes and smells awful, but if you've got
no taste buds and you've got a stuffed (REALLY STUFFED) nose, you
could pull it off...

: | : 	(f) Are an elf polymorphed into a Fire Giant and are about to have
: | : 	    children with your new Fire Giant wife?

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

Well, now that' I've thought about it, your... You wouldn't have
mutants.  Lets leave the description at that...  suffice to say
that... what you produce...  would be Fire giant...stuff...  because
for all intents and purposes your biological functions are identical.

Of course, they'll probably lose their mental faculties regardless.
