Portable Hole

The Perfect Armor
or is it ?
Would you allow a Character to wear a portable hole
(therefore constantly gaining cover like being behind an arrowslit)
what problems could arise ?
Are touch spells still manageable ?
And i didnt find anything on the hardness and hitpoints of a portable
hole
what would you give it ?

Thanks in advance

By the description a portable hole is not open if it isn't entirely on
a surface. Therefore if you were weaing it, it wouldn't be open and
would act like a silk toga. I might be generous and give you the same
protection as padded armor.

I'd give it the same hardness and hitpoints as a silk rope.

Besides, a Sphere of Annihilation makes much better armor. Obviously.

In the games I have been involved in, the hole had to be placed on the
ground to gain access (just like the one from the Road Runner cartoon).

So, in hands or held in front of someone it was just cloth/extra
diminesional stuff.

How distructable it is... I am not sure I'd want that taking lots of hit
points while holding it in my hands....

What if you attached the Portable Hole to a shild of appropriate size?
In that case, the hole would be entirely on a surface.

I have a better idea: line your colon with it.

There are two notions of Portable Hole: the one posited in Road Runner
and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and the one that's a doorway into an
extradimensional space that's 3' across and 10' deep.

With the former, of course, you now have a hole in your shield. These
'Holes work better to get from one room into another via a wall of
less than ten feet; they're much harder to adjudicate, however... what
happens if you lay the 'Hole on a bridge, and then someone takes a board
and some nails to try to board the resultant hole up from beneath?

Even so, I kinda prefer this "makes an actual hole" idea. As a side
benefit, it makes the Portable Hole / Bag of Holding interaction
much more "believable"...
