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)  Flash Foxhole  — A circle made of black leather that can be placed on a flat surface as an action to create a magical trench 4-feet-deep and up to 30 feet in length and creatures in the trench have full cover against ranged attacks.

2)  Death's Shroud  — A burial shroud made of canvas and worn like a cloak, always appearing soiled with dried blood. When you are reduced to 0 hit points it covers you. You gain temporary hit points and can't fail a death saving throws. The shroud also deals damage to anyone who hits you.

3)  Perceptive Pastels  — A small box of 1d4 + 1 pastel chalks. You can draw either: an eye, ear, or mouth with the chalk before it crumbles. While the drawing persists you can use an action to look, listen, or speak through it, respectively.

4)  Shade and Shine  — Two handaxes, Shade and Shine, bound by a powerful force. Attacks made with Shade deal extra necrotic damage. You can surround yourself with shadows and you can attack creatures with the shadow. Attacks made with Shine deal extra radiant damage. You can create an aura of bright light and creatures within the aura has resistance to necrotic damage and can't have disadvantage on attack rolls.

5)  Midnight Pocketwatch  — A watch made with blue glass and a silhouette of a fairy engraved upon it. The watch has a third hand that doesn't move with time. You can cast dispel magic from the watch which causes it to chime twelve times and ticks down the third hand.

6)  Medium's Breath  — This bamboo flute has talismans adorned with symbols of life and death, and is tuned to excite or calm emotions. You can play the flute to assert control over undead with various effects. You can give an undead controlled by another creature their personality and mental scores back for a limited time or cause a phantom of a creatures past to hunt them, if one exists.

7)  Wandblade  — A dagger with a handle that unscrews, to allow insertion of a wand. While holding the dagger, you can use the wand as if you were holding it.
