Heroic Ideas — Choose 2 community item ideas to be made! (Patreon)

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) 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.

2) Forget-Me-Knot — This embroidered length of silk fabric has 3 small knots tied along its length. You can use an action to cast the legend lore spell from it, which causes a knot to unravel. Once all three knots are untied, it frays into a pile of threads.

3) Battlechef's Cookbook — A cookbook that contains a list of recipes curated by battlechefs and monster hunters, that gives you proficiency with cook's utensil a bonus checks made with them. You can cook monster parts into rations as part of a short rest, which give a +1 to attack and damage rolls and possibly gain resistances from eating rations if the monster it was prepared from had any.

4) Jar of True Lightning Bugs — A magically reinforced jar that holds a special lightning bug. It sheds light in a radius equal to the number of bugs in the jar and you can remove a bug to cast the call lightning spell. A creature that fails the save is also affected by the effects of the faire fire spell.

5) Seer's Staff — You gain a bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic staff that gains charge when you roll initiative, or when you don't attack, cast a spell, or ready an action on your turn. You can spend charges to dodge as a bonus action, or cast spells from it like augury, commune, detect evil and good, or divination

6) Rover's Haven — A carriage with the motif of a house that is pulled by two spectral horses. You can spend 10 minutes unfolding the carriage's body to create a small house that can act as storage or speak the command word to lock the carriage in place.

7) Cocoa-Bomb — This spherical potion contains all the ingredients that can be combined with milk or water as an action to create a delicious cocoa drink that stays warm for 1 hour. It gives resistance to cold damage and keeps you comfortable in extreme cold. Alternatively, it can be throw at a point where it explodes into goopy chocolate, dealing damage and creating difficult terrain in an area.

Keep on adventuring!
