Heroic Ideas — Choose 2 community item ideas to be made!

Hey heroes!

Each week on Discord, community members nominate other members' suggested items to be made into official Saddlebag items. The top two most voted-for item ideas each week get made, following back and forth workshopping and discussion.

You can submit your ideas on Discord, too! Come join us in the #patron-item-workshop channel!

You may recognize some returning item suggestions! Items can be renominated and re-drawn for weekly polls following a week-long cooldown.

Here are the randomly selected item ideas drawn from this week's nominations!

Ideas

1) Gourdian Helm — A helmet made of a carved gourd. Wearing it grants you bonuses against being charmed, frightened, or possessed, and successfully resisting such an effect allows you to retaliate against the triggering creature with twisting vines.

2) Armor of the Grotesque — This stone-like armor is adorned with ghoulish motifs. You can doff the armor as an action, giving it wings and flying off to a point within 30 feet of you where it transforms into a gargoyle under your control for 1 hour.

3) Helm of the Desert Queen — A helm of gauze that covers your eyes, but allows you to see through it unobstructed, as well as tolerate harsh desert conditions. You can use it to invoke a mummy's ire to inflict necrotic damage and prevent target from regaining hit points. Attuning to it can cause you to become undead and weaken you, unless you consume sufficent amounts of water.

4) Ghost Poem — A scroll that can be used to communicate with the dead spirits from a crime scene. The communication is told by way of a poem or lyric, and can hint at the locations or identities of clues, culprits, motives, and targets.

5) Condemned's Redemption — The blade of this greataxe was once used as a guillotine to execute legendary criminals. The weapon is now imbued with the spirit of an elvish king that was once beheaded by the blade. Should you fall unconscious, his spirit emerges from the blade to defend your body.

6) Eternally Vain — Attuning to this ornate clamshell hand mirror increases your Charisma scores, and causes you to take on vampiric traits. You grow fangs that can be used to attack and can attempt to charm creatures. However, you are also debilitated by sunlight and must drink blood or become exhausted.

7) Toil and Trouble — These paired pistols were crafted by a hag out of cauldron iron and animal bones respectively. Each pistol allows you to cast the hex spell, with Toil targeting physical stats, and Trouble targeting mental stats.

Keep on adventuring!
