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)  Medzo's Gaming Dice  — These cursed dice are the favorites of an infamous gambler. You have advantage on ability checks made while gambling with these dice. When a nearby creature you can see makes an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check, you can expend a charge and make a Charisma check to grant that creature a bonus to their roll. If you fail the Charisma check, you are affected by the bane spell for the next minute.

2)  Light Brush  — This torch resembles a paint brush, and can provide light in any color for 1 hour each day. However, lighting it curses and makes you want to use it as much as appropriate, and causes you to leave behind glowing paint footprints every so often as you walk.

3)  Preservation Jar  — A jar for preserving body parts. Body parts in the jar are under the effect of the gentle repose spell, which can only hold parts from a single creature. You can perform an hour long ritual to cast true resurrection from the jar, targeting the creature who's body parts are in the jar. After casting in this way, the jar is destroyed.

4)  Mercurial Blade  — A silvery blade made of a poisonous liquid metal, frozen to maintain its shape and you can transform it into any weapon that deals piercing or slashing damage. It gains a bonus to attack and damage rolls while transformed into a piercing weapon and deals extra damage while transformed into a slashing weapon. In addition to a special property for each form: breaking the tip off to deal damage over time or absorb the poison to be poisoned and regain hit points.

5)  Orange Cicatrizer’s Debt  — A pair of magic platinum and amber hath phools fitted for a queen's personal physic. Using its charges: you can redirect harm intended for a friendly creature to yourself instead, grant an ally a bonus to saving throws against conditions, or heal nearby allies while burning enemies. It also grants you a flaw.

6)  Dragon Wrath Whetstone  — Whetstones made from the the scales of an ancient chromatic dragon. You can expend a charge from the whetstone to sharpen a weapon that deals slashing damage, making the weapon more powerful and giving it bonus damage according to the type of dragon the whetstone is from for 8 hours. After expending the last charge, the whetstone crumbles to dust.

7)  Tapestry Cloak  — A cloak that you can flourish while standing against a solid surface to transform yourself into a hung tapestry or laid out rug. You can choose the appearance of the tapestry or rug.
