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 randomly selected item ideas drawn from this week's nominations!

Ideas

1) Risa the Ardent's Hammer — A warhammer that once belonged to a warrior heroine capable of withstanding powerful attacks. You can use a reaction while holding it to expend its charges and reduce the damage taken by an ally of your choice within range.

2) Medical Sling — A magical medic's sling that can be used as both a weapon and as a means of healing during a short rest. While wearing it, you can regain additional hit points whenever you expend a Hit Die.

3) Godsteel Wardplate — Plate armor lost to the ages, the armor has a separate pool of hit points that are subtracted from before the wearer takes damage. You have advantage on Strength checks while the armor has hit points.

4) Death String — A withering instrument that hurts non-bards to play. You can expend a Bardic Inspiration die to give a Bardic Enervation die, which subtracts your die, rather than adds it, to a creature's roll of your choice. If the roll is reduced below 0, they take damage.

5) Dust of Tracking — This dust resembles silky ash made from Underdark mushroom spores. As an action you throw it in an area, when a creature enters the area they will leave dimly lit footprints where ever they move for 1 hour that can only be seen with darkvision. 

6) Risa the Ardent's Shield — A shield that once belonged to a warrior heroine who always assisted her allies. You can replace one of your melee attacks with a special attack with the shield, if the attack hits the next attack against the affected creature is made with advantage.

7) Wardancer’s Spear — A double-bladed spear that's made from extremely light wood. You can make an extra attack with it as a bonus action on each of your turns, and when you do, you can move up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.

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

Keep on adventuring!
