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)  Friend and Foe  — A pair of powerful light hammers named friend and foe that deal bonus damage and have charges which are used to charm or frighten targets struck by them, respectively. While attuned, their attack and damage bonuses increase, as does the DC for their effects, and you gain benefits to attacks against creatures charmed or frightened of you as a result of the hammers' properties.

2)  Untamed Couturier's Clothes  — An unusual robe made by a tailor coming to terms with their lycanthropy, changing forms at dawn and dusk. At dawn, it is a beautiful silk robe that increases your speed and allows you to take the Disengage action as a bonus action after attacking. At dusk, it is a rough robe made of fur that increases your AC and allows you to take the Dash action to move toward a hostile creature.

3)  Bridesmaid's Envy  — A set of matching bracelets meant to be shared. You and the other creature wearing one of the bracelets gain a bonus to the Help action when helping one another, and if one of you rolls a 20, the other gains another effect.

4)  Shamisen of the Changing Wind  — A shamisen made of deep purple wood, inlaid with a pattern of falling petals. This instrument can be used as a shortbow that uses projectiles of air instead of normal ammunition and deals slashing damage. When you make an attack you can use a bonus action to impart various benefits to it such as attacking another creature within 5 feet of the original target or pushing yourself away from your current location. Additionally, you can spend 1 minute casting the calm emotions spell from the shamisen.

5)  Voots  — Footwear made from various sized pebbles that can be either boots or shin guards. You can stomp the ground to stun those in the shockwave and create an electrically charged area, reducing all creatures speed and bolstering yours.

6)  Domino Effect  — A cursed pendant in the shape of a domino. Rolling a 20 on an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw gives you advantage on the next roll of that type you make. Rolling a 1 on one of those rolls gives you disadvantage on the next roll of that type you make.

7)  Remorhaz Javelin  — A crude javelin made from fallen remorhaz parts. It deals fire damage on even attack rolls, and cold damage on odd attack rolls.

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

Keep on adventuring!
