Extradimensional Space. The hold-all contains an extradimensional space that can hold a number of pounds equal to 100 times your artificer level. The total volume of its contents cannot exceed 100 cubic feet. Retrieving an item from the hold-all requires an action. If the hold-all is reduced to 0 hit points, its contents spill forth, unharmed, into the nearest available space.   Jumbling Tumble. If the hold-all moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and hits it with a distorted mass attack on the same turn, it can force the target to make a Strength saving throw DC 8 + PB + the hold-all’s Strength modifier. On a failure, the target is knocked prone.

Actions

Distorted Mass. Melee Weapon Attack: your spell attack to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d8 + PB force damage.   Engulf. The hold-all attempts to engulf a Large or smaller creature it can see within 5 feet. The target must make a Strength saving throw against your artificer spell save DC. On failure, the hold-all moves into the target’s space, and the target is engulfed. For the duration:

  • The hold-all’s movement speed is reduced by half, it cannot take actions or reactions, and you cannot cast spells through it. If necessary, its size changes to no smaller than the target’s.
  • The target is blinded and restrained, has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the hold-all. An engulfed creature can use its action on its turn to make a new Strength saving throw,freeing itself on a success.
  • On your turn, you can use your bonus action to cause the hold-all to deal 10 (4d4) force damage to the target.
The hold-all can engulf only one creature at a time. If the hold-all is below half its maximum hit points, it cannot use this ability, or continue to engulf a creature. When released, the target appears in the nearest available space.   Use Tool. The hold-all makes an ability check, using a tool held in its contents. If you are proficient in the tool, the hold-all adds your proficiency bonus to the total.

Reactions

Confounding Caper (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). When a creature within 10 feet of the hold-all is the target of a melee attack, the handy hold-all can exchange positions with that creature, becoming the target of the attack instead. In order to do so, the original target of the attack must be willing to move, and their size cannot exceed that of the hold-all.
