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) 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.

2) Great Blade of the Wrathful — This barbarian weapon creates an aura around you while raging. When you roll a 20 on an attack, all hostile creatures must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be consumed by rage, attacking the nearest target on their turn. However, you are compelled to make each attack recklessly as well.

3) Shimmershell Shield — This iridescent shield is made of shiny crab shell. As an action, you can command the shield to wrap around your body to form a protective shell, increasing your AC and emitting dim light. You can revert the shell back to a shield again as an action.

4) Frostbite Snowflakes — A scarf stylized with snowflakes that can summon and throw icy throwing stars (daggers) in the shape of a snowflake. Creatures hit by these attacks have their speed cumulatively reduced and take cold damage each turn unless they use an action to remove the icy shards.

5) Honeywood Recurve — A heavy recurve bow is constantly humming from the bees that live inside. Insects are friendly to you and you can expend charges to summon a swarm of bees to attack a nearby area.

6) Dead Men's Tales — This gruesome book is bound partially by human flesh with an animated face on the cover. Once per day, you can place the book on a corpse and cast the speak with dead spell to ask one question. The answer comes in the form of a story, which is written in the pages and can be recited by the cover's face.

7) Rings of Many Pockets — This set of four rings each contain a small extradimensional space. You can store 1 item in each ring, producing one of them in your hand as a bonus action.

Keep on adventuring!
