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)  Backhanded Gloves  — Gloves that contort your hands to both be left-handed, like a Rakshasa. You have advantage on Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) ability checks, but make Charisma ones to interact with creatures with whom you've shaken hands with disadvantage.

2)  Rudder of the Tempest Dancer  — This tower shield is the rudder of a famous ship and is lighter than it appears. While holding the shield, you gain resistance to lightning damage and your walking speed increases when you're in stormy weather. Additionally, you can cast the freedom of movement spell targeting only yourself.

3)  Magebane Mask  — This full face black iron mask looks more like punishment for the wearer than protection. When placed upon a creature's head the mask locks in place. While locked, it can't cast spells, benefit from any magical effects, speak, or be contacted by telepathic means.

4)  Mourningsteel Obol  — This coin is made from mourningsteel, a metal born from countless painful deaths. You can place this coin in the mouth of a creature that has died within the last 24 hours. While the coin is in their mouth, they are under the effects of the gentle repose spell. Additionally, any effect that would defile or attempt to raise them from the dead instead summons a spectral hound that attacks any hostile creatures and defends the corpse.

5)  Punch  — A potion that enhances your unarmed strikes and makes them especially strong against objects and structures. The rare version allows you to release an even stronger strike that also pushes the target.

6)  Worldbreaker  — A titanic hammer that can crush any obstacle, whether it be creature or object. It can be used to tunnel through earth. It can be used to cast the earthquake spell, although it runs the risk of causing its powerful tremors to rebound.

7)  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.

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

Keep on adventuring!
