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)  Mantle of Adaptivity  — Each of these cloaks brings adaptable ingenuity of humankind to the forefront. Each dawn you can pick a different environment and gain benefits related to them such as: mountain giving a climb speed, forest allowing you to hide while only lightly obscured, and prairie allowing you to mount a creature for reduced movement cost.

2)  Ashen Bloom  — These vibrant magical flowers are charred and glow eternally. You can steep a petal in hot water to give various benefits like curing a disease or poison or reducing exhaustion levels. You can also use them as a component in spells that deal fire damage to deal a small amount of extra damage.

3)  Feline “Grace”  — A soft, fluffy cloak with a tassel similar to a cat's tail on one shoulder. Between dawn and dusk you regain additional hit points from expended hit dice during a short rest, while between dusk and dawn you have increased speed. You are also cursed with a strong desire to nap.

4)  Sword of False Light  — A normal sword that has a glamour to appear as a holy weapon. Creatures that cannot see through the illusion take additional psychic damage from the sword.

5)  Cutlass of the White Shark  — A cutlass made from a giant shark tooth. When you hit a creature with this weapon, you can expend a charge to cast hunter's mark on it. Additionally, sharks are friendly to you and you gain a swimming speed and can breathe underwater.

6)  Blood Whistle  — A dull whistle that produces no sound. When you blow into it, you can attempt to temporarily curdle the blood of a nearby target, preventing it from taking actions or moving until the start of your next turn.

7)  Scroll of the True Self  — A scroll to make your outer appearance match your inner one. You can use the scroll to cast the alter self spell using the Change Appearance option. When the spell ends the appearance becomes permanent.

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

Keep on adventuring!
