Heroic Ideas — Runner up poll! 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) Axes of Axes — This handaxe is comprised of three distinct blades, each with a uniquely colored arrow. When you make a thrown attack with this weapon, you can cause the axe to split into three. The more axes that hit the target, the more effects they are subject to: they can be pushed away from you, have levitate casted on them, or have telekinesis casted on them.

2) Eyes of the Sleeping Spy — The lenses of these glasses are made to resemble dreamcatchers. You can see a sleeping creature's dreams above them. You can also touch a sleeping creature to infiltrate their dream. During this time, you can attempt to influence the dream to learn the answer to a question the target may know.

3) Starmetal Blowgun — A metal blowgun, forged from metals that fell from the sky. You gain a bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it and it deals extra piercing damage due to it's magnetic acceleration. The blowgun is loaded with a magnetized needle that is drawn back into the blowgun after every attack, ignoring the loading property. Once per turn, you can attempt to cause a creature hit by it to be outlined by an aurora-like light, as if by the faerie fire spell.

4) Preservation Jar — A jar for preserving body parts. Body parts in the jar are under the effect of the gentle repose spell, which can only hold parts from a single creature. You can perform an hour long ritual to cast true resurrection from the jar, targeting the creature who's body parts are in the jar. After casting in this way, the jar is destroyed.

5) Tidebreaker Axe — This worn axe has shark teeth affixed to its blade, and deals piercing damage instead of slashing. Once per rage, you may force a creature to attack you instead of an ally near you. You can also follow a creature that moves away from you.

6) Fulgurite Spear — A crude tipped spear made of stony glass. Attacks deal extra lightning damage and you can use an action to launch the spear into the air to call down lightning within a point you can see. Creatures in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw or take lightning damage and recreating the spike growth spell in the same area.

7) Narrator's Bookmark — This red leather bookmark has a rounded end and is creased in the middle. When placed inside an open book you can speak its command word, causing it to animate like a tongue, reading the book aloud in the language it was written and continues until it finishes the page.

Keep on adventuring!
