Renowned 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 may recognize some returning item suggestions! Items can be renominated and re-drawn for weekly polls following a week-long cooldown.

Here are the 7 randomly selected item ideas drawn from this week's nominations!

Ideas

1) Great Owl's Shroud — A draping shoulder cape adorned with sharp, magical feathers. You can make a ranged attack by flourishing the cape as a bonus action, causing one of these feathers to fly out towards a target within its range. A certain number of feathers regrow each day.

2) Trapped Wax — A magical wax used for sealing documents. When you seal a document with it, you can choose a command word to magically melt the wax and unseal it. If a creature opens the wax without speaking the command word, a harmful magical effect is triggered instead.

3) False Knob — A doorknob you can magically attack to any flat surface. When you do, it creates an illusory door on top of the surface, making it appear as though the false knob is its handle. You can remove the knob at any time by speaking its command word.

4) Eye of the Storm — A shield with an animated design of a storm adorning its face. You gain a bonus to AC and resistance to lightning damage while holding this shield, and can cast the augury spell with it. The storm's swirling design changes to indicate the impending results, such as showing calm clouds for good results, or a storming cloud for a bad result.

5) Doombloom — A dark flower whose petals seem to have a glimpse of the cosmos reflected in them. You can use one of these flowers to cast the scrying spell, using the flower as its material component for the spell. Using multiple of these flowers in a day can have unexpected and harmful consequences.

6) Death String — A musical instrument for bards that allows you to grant an extra Bardic Inspiration die to a nearby creature. However, you choose when this die is used, and you subtract it from the roll's total. If the total becomes 0 or lower, the target takes psychic and necrotic damage.

7) Reaver's Recall — A magical monocle that allows you to probe into a creature's memories. You can concentrate on a creature for 10 minutes, as if it were a spell, and if you maintain sight on that creature for the duration, you can identify key memories from their past 1 or 24 hours, depending on the result of their saving throw against the effect. The target is unaware of the effects of the monocle.

Thanks to everyone who submitted item ideas and voted for them this week!

Keep on adventuring!
