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)  Navis Anima  — A sentient pedestal with a cloudy gemstone with a sunset hue. You can perform a ceremony to bind the pedestal to a vehicle. The anima can control the vehicle, move the vehicle slowly without a source of movement, and communicate telepathically with creatures in contact with the vehicle.

2)  Starnight Dagger  — An obsidian dagger that glows with starlight. When you hit a creature using this weapon, you can expend a charge to prevent that creature from casting low-level spells for 1 minute.

3)  Ginsong Root  — A bitter root in the shape of a musical note. After eating the root, your voice becomes sing-song for a minute, and you also have advantage on performance checks during that time.

4)  Espionage Deck  — A deck of magical playing cards. You can use sleight of hand to place a card on a creature and always know the general location of that creature until it becomes detected or until 7 days pass, at which point it returns to the box. You can also use an action to see and hear through a face card of your choosing.

5)  Whirling Dragon Staff  — A monk staff can be split into three sections, each connected by an intangible force. You can use the staff to deal force damage for your Fury of Blows or to make a reach attack at the end of your movement if you use your Step of the Wind feature.

6)  Dragonfang Scimitars  — These paired scimitars deal additional damaged based on the associated dragon type and rarity. While wielding both of them, you can use your reaction to gain a bonus to your AC and potentially make an attack as part of that reaction.

7)  Pouch of Mephit Marbles  — These various colored marbles come in a pouch and can be throw at a point to summon a mephit that matches the type of marble thrown. It's friendly to you and your companions and bursts into a harmless cloud when reduced to 0 hit points.

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

Keep on adventuring!
