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)  Petrosphere Armor  — This armor has veins of glowing crystals that converge at the pauldrons. You gain a bonus to your AC and can transform into a Small stone sphere. While in this form, your speed increases, enemies have disadvantage on attacks of opportunity against you, and you can only take the Dash, Disengage, or Dodge actions. You can remain in this form for up to 1 hour.

2)  Blazing Ax  — This magical axe is covered in burn marks while its blade has lute strings across it. This weapon can be used as both a lute and a spellcasting focus for bard spells. You can use your bardic inspiration to grant bonus fire damage to nearby allies, or cast the misty step spells and deal fire damage to nearby creatures.

3)  Warband Pigments  — A small tin containing a variety of face paints that when worn provides advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks. Additionally, when you are reduced to 0 hit points, but not  outright killed, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. A half-orc gains advantage on their first attack roll after this or their Relentless Endurance is used.

4)  Big Spender's Flaunt  — A gaudy staff that mutiple coins can be placed at the end to cause them to float in place. Expending a floating coin provides different effects depending on the coin's value, such as poisoning, blinding, or paralyzing a creature. Expending a higher value coin also provides a spellcasting bonus.

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)  Painter's Flight  — A long white coat covered in patches of paint. While wearing it, you can paint with your hands, and can touch a flat surface to transform yourself into a painting on that surface. While in this form you can move along that surface and adjacent ones.

7)  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.

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