I once had a player that wanted a Decanter of Endless Water just to waterboard people 😳

    You could just kill the guard by leaving them in the bag

    I would immediately shift your alignment to chaotic evil for it because you’re literally making them suffocate to death over a period of about ten minutes, but it’s still RAW.

      Except if the guard manages to rip a hole in the bag from the inside, they can destroy the bag and everything inside it will get scattered across the Astral Plane. Pretty bad for the guard, but better than a slow death being suffocated. Plus you don’t need to eat or breathe on the Astral, so they could live there indefinitely.

      This sort of thing always seem silly to me. Most of the people you kill go to the lower planes. What is ten minutes of suffocation compared to that?

        Bro if you don’t get how painful suffocation can be just sympathetically I’m not sure I can explain why doing that to someone on purpose is so heinous

          I get that it can be painful. it just seems like it would be less painful than an eternity on the lower planes. And I wouldn’t want to play a character that does that sort of thing, but that basically means I can’t play D&D without homebrewing a less dark cosmology. If you are playing it with the cosmology they give you, and you’re not careful to keep your enemies alive, then you’re doing stuff worse than this constantly.
