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) Salt Pick — This every-growing rock salt pick deals additional necrotic damage and it highly effective against oozes, dealing extra damage against them, slowing their speed, and stopping them from splitting apart.

2) Mammoth Mantle — A mantle crafted from the thick hide of a mammoth, including a tusked hood. Wearing it allows you to withstand temperatures as low as -50°F. When you move in a straight line toward a creature and hit it with a melee attack the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. You can also make a bellowing trumpet sound to give your allies advantage on their next attack or saving throw.

3) Stalagnate Lance — While attuned to this heavy stone lance, you and any mount you're riding ignore difficult terrain cause by natural stone. You can speak its command word as an action to cause one of two effects: Cast the spike growth spell, gain a damage bonus if cast on natural stone, and you are immune to the damage when cast in this way. Alternatively, you can cause spectral stalactites to float in an area above a point you can see and cause them to fall for the next minute, dealing piercing damage.

4) Fossilized Heart — A fossilized heart with amber in the cracks. You must hold the heart against your chest when you attuned. When you do, the heart vanishes and surrounds your natural heart and your skin becomes stone-like. You gain the following benefits: resistance to necrotic and poison damage, advantage on saves to move you against your will, and you can reroll a Constitution saving throw and use the higher roll.

5) Tanklyosaur — This plate armor is modeled after an ancient megalizard with spikes running down the arms. All bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage is reduced by 1. In addition, if you grapple a creature or are grappled, the creature takes 1d4 piercing damage.

6) Pursuer's Spear — This ancient bone spear is worn from hours of marching on hunts. You can use stealth even while traveling at a normal pace. When you hit a creature with it, you can mark them. You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track the marked creature and to resist exhaustion from a forced march.

7) 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.

Keep on adventuring!
