A bag of Colding

Like a bag of holding but will act like an icebox, so isn't heavy. Maybe you zap a bag of holding with a freeze spell and have a 50/50 whether it transmutes or shatters. Dip it in a potion of sickness, bag has a cold?


P.S. Let me wash my greasy hands off in a sink. -Bobm 07:26, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

I can see a magical lightweight version of an ice box appearing in a variant, but having it also supplant a regular bag of holding might be a bit too much, balance-wise. OTOH, corpses are heavy, although putting them in a BoH first and then placing the BoH into the new bag works just as well. Tomsod (talk) 11:49, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
Sounds like Gnome-tech. Product of the Frobozz Company. Maybe for cryopreservation of fallen comrades until someone can show up with a wand of turning. Or just to support more traditional sacrifice purposes in Minetown —Wikid (talk) 09:17, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
We had that in one of the Nethackathons and put a cockatrice corpse in it, they had to nerf it. Joes 14:37, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
I think you can wash your hands in a sink in 3.7.0 by dipping - but I haven't tried it. Kufat (talk) 00:27, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
