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) Phlebotomist’s Lancette — This massive syringe is wielded like a spear. You can draw blood from creatures impaled with the syringe dealing necrotic damage, and expel that blood in a cone, dealing acid damage.

2) Rattler Battlers — The heads of these strange clubs are rattlesnake rattles, somehow expanded and bent to form the typical rounded shape, and can also be used as maracas. You can use them if you're proficient with drums, can add your proficiency bonus when you attack with them, and can summon a swarm of poisonous snakes.

3) Fogwrath Armory — This wind sock can be worn like a quiver and constantly has fog gently rolling from its mouth. You can draw a weapon, such as a dagger, javelin, or spear, from the fog, which coalesces into solid, freezing fog. These weapons burst into fog on impact, heavily obscuring the target.

4) Railrunner Maul — A massive maul made from the parts of a destroyed mining machine that blinds a creature with scalding steam when you roll a 20 on an attack roll. The maul has charges and can be used to summon spectral rails that grant you bonus while while moving along them, such as dealing additional damage after moving along the rails, or ignoring difficult terrain that the rails cross.

5) Battlechef’s Razor-whisk — This contraption, wielded as a club, features two razor sharp whisk that can be cranked to spin rapidly. When spinning, the weapon deals 2d4 additional slashing damage. You can also mix a liquid to recreate the effects of the purify food and drink spell.

6) Chvorinov’s Lost Theory — A potion made from salamander blood that causes you to burn like a furnace from the inside out. When consumed, your hit points are reduced and you gain temporary hit points equal to the amount lost. During this time, your melee attacks deal additional fire damage and creatures that attack you take fire damage.

7) Perceptive Pastels — A small box of 1d4 + 1 pastel chalks. You can draw either: an eye, ear, or mouth with the chalk before it crumbles. While the drawing persists you can use an action to look, listen, or speak through it, respectively.

Keep on adventuring!
