1. How do you detect someone is in a Rope Trick?

2. Can you Scry on them if you see the window?

3. What happens, exactly, if you try to Dispel the window?

4. If the rope is down, can you cast spells into the space?

5. If you destroy/cut the rope while the rope is down what happens to the spell?

6. If you destroy/cut the rope while inside the Rope Trick, what happens?

7. Can you bring a Bag of Holding into a Rope Trick?

8. What about a Portable Hole?

Here's the spell from the SRD:

Rope Trick
Transmutation
Level: Sor/Wiz 2
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: One touched piece of rope from 5 ft. to 30 ft. long
Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

When this spell is cast upon a piece of rope from 5 to 30 feet long, one end of the rope rises into the air until the whole rope hangs perpendicular to the ground, as if affixed at the upper end. The upper end is, in fact, fastened to an extradimensional space that is outside the multiverse of extradimensional spaces (“planes”). Creatures in the extradimensional space are hidden, beyond the reach of spells (including divinations), unless those spells work across planes. The space holds as many as eight creatures (of any size). Creatures in the space can pull the rope up into the space, making the rope “disappear.” In that case, the rope counts as one of the eight creatures that can fit in the space. The rope can support up to 16,000 pounds. A weight greater than that can pull the rope free.

Spells cannot be cast across the extradimensional interface, nor can area effects cross it. Those in the extradimensional space can see out of it as if a 3-foot-by- 5-foot window were centered on the rope. The window is present on the Material Plane, but it’s invisible, and even creatures that can see the window can’t see through it. Anything inside the extradimensional space drops out when the spell ends. The rope can be climbed by only one person at a time. The rope trick spell enables climbers to reach a normal place if they do not climb all the way to the extradimensional space.

Note: It is hazardous to create an extradimensional space within an existing extradimensional space or to take an extradimensional space into an existing one.

Material Component: Powdered corn extract and a twisted loop of parchment

08-10-04, 02:24 AM 1. How do you detect someone is in a Rope Trick? A see invisibility spell will let you see the window... but you realy have no idea if it was occupied or not.

2. Can you Scry on them if you see the window? no, since 3.5 scry only lets you scry on people, not places.

3. What happens, exactly, if you try to Dispel the window? The spell ends as if the duration had expired... and thus every one and every thing with in it drop out onto the ground below.

4. If the rope is down, can you cast spells into the space? probably not, since area spells will not penetrate it, and you can not see inside of it to target anybody with in (no line of sight), howver I suppose that a kind DM might allow you to blindly fire rays or energy missile spells into it (good luck hitting anything).

5. If you destroy/cut the rope while the rope is down what happens to the spell? people can no longer climb in and out of it.

6. If you destroy/cut the rope while inside the Rope Trick, what happens? nobody else cn climb up and get in, and getting out is likly to hurt unless you have a feather fall handy.

7. Can you bring a Bag of Holding into a Rope Trick? since it says Note: It is hazardous to create an extradimensional space within an existing extradimensional space or to take an extradimensional space into an existing one. in the spell discription I wouldn't advice it (an would in my game amke it react the same way as mixing a BoH and a PH.

8. What about a Portable Hole? see above.
