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 can submit your ideas on Discord, too! Come join us in the #hero-ideas-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) Mourningsteel Saber — This cavalry saber was reforged with mourningsteel and deals extra necrotic damage. If you are mounted, necrotic damage increases. Additionally, you can urge your allies to battle, granting them additional movement and bonus damage on their next attack.

2) Tears of the Barren Duct — A small leather pouch that contains gems resembling teardrops. As a bonus action you can drop one at your feet, hydrating the ground. This effect remove difficult terrain in a radius and light vegetation grows in the area if it's able.

3) Phoenix Fan — A fan of gold and crimson young phoenix feathers. You can cast the feather fall spell at will, targeting one creature, or use its charges to cast spells like fire shield, a smoky fog cloud, scorching ray, or wall of fire.

4) Ballast Boots — Heavy stone boots, carved with rough dwarven runes. While wearing these boots your speed on land is halved, but when in water you sink to the bottom safely where you can more at your full walking speed.

5) Familiar's Fang Cape — This small black cloth that can be tied to a familiar as a cape to change its creature type to undead, as well as making it grow little bat wings and fangs. The familiar gains a flying speed and the ability to make a bite attack that deals necrotic damage and restores hit points.

6) Scroll of the True Self — A scroll to make your outer appearance match your inner one. You can use the scroll to cast the alter self spell using the Change Appearance option. When the spell ends the appearance becomes permanent.

7) Pin Pal — You can attune to this plush doll by pricking yourself on a needle that comes with it. It takes on your likeness and can be controlled mentally like a familiar, and also allows you to succeed on a single death saving throw each day.

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

Keep on adventuring!
