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) Dollhouse of Dreams — A hand crafted dollhouse that can replicate the inside of a known building. It can transform into a perfect replica of a building, control certain small objects in it, or allow you to see and interact with the known building via a spectral summoned toy.

2) Carapace of the Dormant Droner — This carapace armor from an ancient insect gives you a burrowing speed as well as the ability to vibrate and cause a raucous, droning noise, replicating the effects of the hypnotic pattern spell. You can also molt the armor to to gain spectral insectoid wings and a flying speed, at the cost of a partial reduction to your AC.

3) Hand wraps of the Redsmith — These hand wraps are made of a thin sheet of metal, and feel warm to the touch. Wearing them grants resistance to fire damage, and allows you to use your fists as smith tools which you are proficient with. Your weapon attacks and unarmed strikes also deal additional fire damage, and they can be used as a spellcasting focus.

4) Staff of the Ferryman — This long driftwood oar with a blackened lantern on its end grants resistance to necrotic damage and has charges for spells like control water, etherealness, find the path, gentle repose, speak with dead, and spirit guardians. You can also use it to summon a semi-incorporeal keelboat that you can mentally command. The glow of the staff's lantern wards against certain unnatural creatures, giving disadvantage on attack rolls and dealing radiant damage.

5) Quantumfly Buckler — This round shield features a stained glass butterfly at its center. When you or another creature is hit with an attack, you can use your reaction to expend some of the shield's charges to temporarily increase the target's AC by drawing on energy from alternative timelines. Doing so comes at a risk of taking damage as expended timelines collide.

6) Deep Sea-mitar — This strange blade is made from a dried and sharpened tentacle. While attuned, you gain a swimming speed, can breathe underwater, and you can comprehend and communicate with aquatic beasts. You can use the scimitar to cast various water-related spells, and, while underwater, you can gain tremorsense. Additionally, the weapon can allow you to charm a creature or create a sphere of water to contain a Large or smaller target.

7) Magitech Gauntlets — Stained metal gauntlets with magical orbs acting as its power source. You gain a bonus to attack and damage rolls with them for your unarmed strikes. You can also attempt to deal additional force damage at the risk overusing the power source, causing the gauntlets to not function for some time.

Keep on adventuring!
