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)  Two-Step Trotters  — Fine shoes made of shimmering green fabric and brown leather. You gain a bonus to your AC and Dexterity saving throws while wearing them. You can use your reaction to cause an attack to miss once per day and can cast the irresistible dance spell.

2)  Boiling Blood Cloak  — This cloak was made from the carapace of a remorhaz and still contains some of its scalding blood. At dawn, you can choose either fire or cold damage to gain resistance against and you deal extra damage while raging. You can shield yourself as an action to gain temporary hit points which deal damage to any creature that hits you while they exist.

3)  Crystalwind Cloak  — A beautiful silver choker with a constellation of clear diamonds. Once you put it on the air around you hardens into a crystalline hooded cloak that gives you a different method to calculate your AC. As an action, you can also project the cloak out into a 10-foot barrier, centered on you, that has its own hit points and AC.

4)  Jinxed Hand Mirror  — A small hand mirror that can be used as a spellcasting focus and grants you a bonus to AC. The mirror has charges that can be expended when a spell misses you or you succeed on the saving throw. Expending a charge reflects some of the spell's magic back to its source dealing damage. The mirror shatters once the last charge is expended, cursing you.

5)  Lycan Hide Cloak  — A cloak made from the hide of a lycan. You gain a bonus to AC equal to the number of charges remaining and can expend charges to gain immunity to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from attacks that aren't silvered until the start of your next turn.

6)  Sash of the Elemental Soul  — A black sash granted to martial masters who can harness the elements. You gain several benefits from the sash in different states, such as: bonuses to walking speed, AC, and saving throws. During a short rest you can change the elemental form of the sash giving you enhanced benefits.

7)  Geodeheart  — A geode shaped like a tiny heart with many-hued crystals. Attuning to it sinks the geode into your chest. You gain a different AC while not wearing armor and have a bonus to your Constitution score. You can cast various spells that take the form of crystals. The stone slowly takes over your body, harmlessly replacing your flesh with stone and crystal.

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