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)  Hedgewitch's Gardening Gloves  — A pair of gardening gloves covered in magical vines. You gain a bonus to Wisdom (Survival) and Intelligence (Nature) checks when interacting with plants, as well as grant yourself the effect of barkskin up to twice a day.

2)  Phoenix Spirit  — A peppery potion that when drunk, grants you resistance to fire for 8 hours. While under the effect of the potion, you can use an action to become immune to fire while casting a high-level fireball spell centered onto yourself.

3)  Ignus' Ire  — A heavy, molten crossbow that fires fiery bolts of molten rock instead of crossbow bolts. If you're attuned to it, you can speak its command word to create a tracking beam of light and fire that follows a target, dealing increasing damage each turn, until it's out of range or behind total cover. When you do, your speed becomes 0.

4)  Bolide's Blade  — A matching katana and sheath that glow under the moon and produce motes of starlight when swung. You can gain the effect of the mirror image spell daily. As an action, you can unleash a strong attack against a single target before sending additional ranged attacks to creatures nearby.

5)  Katar of the Amber Guard  — A pair of punching daggers that lack the thrown property. If a creature is hit with both of these weapons on the same turn, they take additional damage. If you use the daggers while engaging in two weapon fighting, you can make two attacks as a bonus action instead of one.

6)  Owlbear Blood Mead  — This red honey mead isn't actually made from owlbear, but grants the drinker a bonus to Perception checks that rely on sight for one minute. An uncommon variant of the drink lasts for 1 hour and grants an additional bonus of Perception checks that rely on smell. You also fall under the alter self spell, granting you owlbear claws and a thick coat of feathers for the duration.

7)  Helping Hand  — A single gauntlet and bracelet both set with moonstone, the gauntlet crushed and unable to be worn. While wearing the bracelet and the gauntlet is nearby, you can mimic the effects of the mage hand cantrip with the gauntlet for up to an hour per day.

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

Keep on adventuring!
