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) Paranoia Wickblade – A fighter’s smokey shortsword with wax candle handle that doesn’t deal damage, but instead forces a target to succeed on a wisdom save or become frightened (with modifications). Using your action surge with this sword allows you to delve into the creature’s memories and deal extra psychic damage.

2) Collar of Strength – Runes mark this leather collar which when attuned allows you to cast enlarge/reduce on a friendly beast and grant it some temporary hit points. Using this collar on the same beast for consecutive days creates a special bond between you and that creature and transfers the attunement to the beast.

 3) High Tension String – This bow string is made from a highly tensile material. When you hit with a ranged attack using a bow or crossbow that was strung with this thread, you deal an additional damage die of the weapon's damage, but reduces the normal and long range by half.  

4) Godsteel Barrier – A tower shield of gold, with a bonus to AC. You can cause the shield to emit a protective aura that reduces its AC for you, and instead increases the defense of your allies within range.   

5) Bard's Bounty – A small berry bush planted in an equally small clay pot which grows one berry at a time. Eating a berry allowed you to add a d4 to a roll within the next 10 minutes. You must take a long rest before consuming any further berries, and a berry takes 7 days to regrow.  

6) Splintorch – This 2-inch long splinter acts much like a normal torch when lit, providing as much light as one.  

7) Torrdok's Magnificent Forgery – A large painting fuses with a wall where it is hung to become a door to an extra-dimensional duplicate of the room where it was hung. While hung, it is indistinguishable from a regular painting without a successful Intelligence (Investigation or Arcana) check. The doorway can only be opened by using its command word.

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

Keep on adventuring!
