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)  Ring of Contempt  — A cursed ring that glows with cold spite whenever you're near a specific creature type. If that creature hits you with an attack, it takes cold damage and the damage you take is reduced by a similar amount.

2)  Covolt Star  — This covolt spiked morningstar spark with electricity. It deals additional lightning damage on a hit. Once a day, you can also cause it to explode with electrical energy in a 20-foot radius, forcing creatures to succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, or take 6d6 lightning damage.

3)  Arcane Artillery  — A long metal wand, inscribed with arcane runes. It has charges that can be used to launch arcane bolts that deal force damage, and forces nearby creatures to succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or also take the bolt's damage. It has a chance to explode when the last charge is used, dealing force damage to nearby creatures.

4)  Safire Balm  — A balm that can be applied to a creature's skin to replicate the effects of lesser restoration or greater restoration, depending on rarity, over the course of a rest.

5)  Gloves of Warriors Past  — A pair of cursed ancestral gloves from a tribe of warriors. Attuning to these gloves increases your strength and at the end of a long rest grants you a fighting style for the rest of the day from a selection of styles. You can expend a charge to temporarily ignore the two-handed property of a weapon. The curse prevents you from leaving a fight and makes you exhausted if you spend all of the charges.

6)  Blue Dragons Horn Shield  — A shield carved from the horn of an adult blue dragon. You gain a bonus to your AC and resistance to lightning damage while attuned to this shield. If you move in a straight line towards a target you can make a bonus action attack against it with your shield, dealing lightning damage to it and potentially knocking it prone. You can also use a bonus action to charge a weapon with lightning damage from the shield briefly.

7)  Adventurer's Sunhat  — A large floppy hat that is excellent at providing shade. While wearing the hat, you and nearby creatures have resistance to fire damage and can ignore the effects of sunlight sensitivity.

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

Keep on adventuring!
