Rope Trick

When this spell is cast upon a piece of normal, non- magical 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 extra-dimensional space, similar to a Bag of Holding. Creatures in the space are hidden, beyond the reach of divination spells, unless those spells work across planes. The space holds as many as eight creatures of man-size or smaller (larger creatures cannot fit through the invisible opening at the top of the rope). Creatures in the space can pull the rope up into the space, making the rope “disappear.” Otherwise, the rope simply hangs in air. Spells cannot be cast through the extra-dimensional opening, nor can area effects cross it. Those in the extra- dimensional space can see out of it as if a 3-foot square window were centered on the rope. The window is present, but is invisible, and even creatures that can see the window can’t see through it. 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 extra- dimensional space. When the spell ends, creatures or objects within the extra- dimensional space are ejected through the window. The rope, if still attached, drops free at the same moment.
