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) Riptide Greaves — These leather-bound greaves are each adorned with a single large green fin. While wearing them underwater you gain a swim speed, if you already have one it increases instead. Additionally, you can expend the greaves charges to cast a variety of spells from them.

2) Spider's Rest — A hammock made from spider silk, it can be hung from any two points ten feet apart. Someone laying in it can wrap themselves in a comfortable cocoon to guarantee they won't fall out.

3) Want of Lightning Bolts — A wand that functions like a wand of lightning bolts but can instead cast other lightning spells at random.

4) Silvercloud Bomb — A silver, draconic bomb that explodes into a magical mist that behaves like a solid. You can use the mist to craft all sorts of solid shapes, like walls, sculptures, and more. A creature within the area of the bomb can attempt to escape its area with a successful save. Otherwise, it's trapped within the area.

5) The Forgotten Music Box — A strange music box that can cause creatures who hear it to become frightened. If the box is damaged, the last creature who turned the crank is beset by a nightmare that prevents long rest.

6) 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.

7) Quantumfly Blade — A rapier with a butterfly guard that pulls instances of itself from other realities. On a hit, it deals extra psychic damage. You can expend charges to make extra strikes with it but be careful, though: you may suffer psychic damage yourself when doing so.

Keep on adventuring!
