Heroic Ideas — Paired items week! 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) Shadow and Gloom — While wearing this pitch black waistcoat and its matching scissors, you take on a translucent appearance and have advantage on Stealth checks while in dim light or shadow. You can use the scissors to sever a creature's shadow, causing them to despair and attempt to claw it back. In addition, you can sever your own shadow, allowing you to see through it, moving invisibly through shadows.

2) Pocket Library of Wonder — This ivory pocket library and golden owl brooch can house up to 50 books or scrolls in their contained pocket dimension. As an action you can summon a stored book, including a magical book that you can use to bore a creature, causing them psychic damage and stunning them. In addition, the library can help lead you to find a particular title in a book store or library.

3) Occult Shears — A pair of daggers that combine to make a magical pair of shears. Items cut with the blades can't be repaired with the mending spell, and spellcasters hit by them make concentration checks with disadvantage.

4) Lenses of Shared Vision — Two pairs of spectacles that are linked together. Your eyes resemble the eyes of the creature wearing the other pair of spectacles while wearing these, and can use a bonus action to see through their eyes, increasing the distance you can use this effect while attuned.

5) Needle and Thread — This needle and thread can grow to be used as a spear and whip respectively. The whip can grapple targets and, when combined, the thrown spear can use the whip to drag a target toward you.

6) High and Mighty — This club and pistol can be used together or by separate allies. Both can use either your Dexterity or Strength modifiers for attack and damage rolls. When you hit with the pistol, you can cause the target to float into the air. When you hit with the club, you can launch the target away from you.

7) Call and Response — This rapier and elongated dagger were wielded by a bard and cleric who sang to the dead. When you draw or wield the rapier, the dagger floats over your shoulder. You can have the dagger attack a target you just hit with the rapier, and hitting a target with the dagger after striking them with the rapier causes them to take additional necrotic damage. Additionally, you can activate the blades' song, as a dirge or hymn, damaging enemies or healing allies in a radius around you respectively.

Keep on adventuring!
