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

Heads up! This is a long poll, which ends on August 12th. The next week's content won't feature items from this poll, and the week after that is a vacation week!

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) Scroll of the True Self — A scroll to make your outer appearance match your inner one. You can use the scroll to cast the alter self spell using the Change Appearance option. When the spell ends the appearance becomes permanent.

2) Needlenest Blowgun — A blowgun made from a tan, paper-like material and resembling a wasp nest. A giant wasp has made its nest within. You can expend the blowgun's charges to deal extra poison damage or conjure a swarm of wasps. When you expend the last charge a hostile giant wasp is summoned.

3) Bow of the Swamp Warden — This bow is made from the cypress trees of a magical swamp and is covered in long stringy moss. Attacks made with this bow don't reveal your position and deal extra acid or poison damage. You can create a stinking cloud on a target hit by the bow as if by the spell.

4) Ironleaf Chopper — A wooden axe that still sprouts leaves from its handle. When you roll a 20 on the attack roll with it, it also knocks the target prone. You can also use its leaves as if they were the blades of the blade barrier spell.

5) Icon of the Illustrious — A circlet of woven mist and your skin appears to be stone or metal while wearing it. Your highest ability score and maximum for that score increases. Additionally you gain a natural AC. You can expend its charges to roll a d10 and add the number to an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw. Additionally, you can petrify yourself for a brief time to gain the benefits of a short rest.

6) Slumberkeeper’s Staff — A slender staff topped with a crescent moon and an hourglass hanging down its center, sand always falling within. You can't be surprised while sleeping. You can expend the staff's charges to cast various spells from it. Additionally, when you can expend a use of Channel Divinity to protect your party from dream manipulation and nightmares. When an ally rolls a death saving throw you can put them into a special slumber, preventing them from dying but can only be awoken by a greater restoration spell.

7) Greatest Punchline Ever — A red plastic ball that you can place over your nose. While wearing it you know the vicious mockery cantrip. When you cast the spell in this way you deal increased damage, and can expend its charge to attempt the funniest joke in the world to harm your enemies.

Keep on adventuring!
