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)  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.

2)  Nimblewraps  — Gauze fabric that can be wrapped around the grip of a melee weapon, granting it the finesse property. It is available in multiple rarities to be bound to weapons of equal or lower rarity, with more elaborate embroidery as the rarity increases.

3)  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.

4)  Ether-eel's Pain  — A blade fashioned from the tooth of an ether-eel. You gain a bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon, which deals an additional force damage on a hit. You can see into the Ethereal Plane and can attack targets there. You can also expend charges to teleport next to a creature that damaged you and attack it as a reaction.

5)  Quicksilver Bolt  — The head of this bolt is hollow and filled with quicksilver. When a shapechanger is hit by it, they must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or revert to their true form and be poisoned for 1 hour. While poisoned, that creature can't use its change shape trait and takes 1d4 poison damage every minute.

6)  Conjurer's Gilder  — These golden badges are given to those who've mastered the conjuration school of magic. While wearing the badge, you have the find familiar spell always prepared, it can take additional forms, and it doesn't count against the number of spell you can prepare. In addition, the badge can take the place of material components that are not consumed.

7)  Tanglemaul Twofer  — This net has loops at each of the corners allowing you to tie them together. A creature captured in the net that would normally too heavy to be lifted by you can instead be carried as normal but your speed is halved. While a creature is restrained by the net you can use it and them as a magical greatclub. On a hit, both the target and the creature in the net take half of the weapon's damage.
