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) Nature's Gauntlet — A moss agate in a simple leather loop wraps around your palm that acts as a druidic focus, allowing you to cast spells such as shillelagh and plant growth. Additionally, you can expend charges to summon vines to entangle and pull nearby enemies.

2) Surface Seeker — A Small, magical minecart with a lamp on its front. When you fill it with valuables while in a cave, it makes a slow trek to the surface of the cave, showing you the safest route to travel.

3) Returning Shot — Instead of reloading this crossbow, you can throw it as a bonus action to deal damage. After throwing, it immediately flies back to your hand with ammunition loaded.

4) Pyromancers Blade — This blade with a phoenix-feather-wrapped hilt requires regular fire spellcasting to remain attuned and acts as a spellcasting focus. While attuned, your spells that deal fire damage are enhanced and you can enhance your melee attacks by expending spell slots to deal additional fire damage.

5) Stone Oracle’s Riviere — This green and tan necklace is decorated with nine cats’ eyes. While attuned, you and creatures within 10 feet of you gain several passive travel and exploring benefits while in desert or sand terrain. You can expend charges to cast a variety of divination spells, and can attempt to petrify a creature with your gaze at the cost of your hair transforming into a mess of snakes.

6) Staff of The Flytrap — When you cast the shillelagh cantrip on the staff, multiple flytraps bloom from it, dealing extra acid damage on hit. You can also expend charges to cast the entangle spell which also deals additional acid damage.

7) Bubbleaxe — A colorful double-edge axe with a hole between the two blades where soap bubbles fly out. When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with this axe, they vanish into a burst of soap bubbles. You can also expend charges to cast the resilient sphere spell.

8) Staff of the Hellfire Slopes — A staff from a fiendish lord living in the hellish mountains of the lower planes. You can use the staff's magic to inflict the aspects of the hellish slopes on a target. You can cause a target to be knocked prone and take fire damage each turn until it can shake off the gravity. Alternatively, you can cast a variant of the maze spell which sends the target to a demiplane where they must push a boulder up a slope, taking bludgeoning damage from the boulder if they are unable to push it.

9) Bangles of the Winds' Blessing — A pair of bangles that can be worn around the wrists or ankles, allowing you to cast the fly spell on yourself. While wearing them on your ankles, you gain improved movement and the ability to hover, while wearing them on your wrists surrounds you in strong winds, letting you shove creatures and disrupt attacks.

10) Medusa Battlebones — A pair of jade dice that fly fast, straight, and true that return to your hand each time. You can make a ranged attack with these dice that can deal additional poison damage and petrify a creature for 24 hours.

Keep on adventuring!
