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)  Valente's Love Bug  — A miniscule metal bug that can be used to cast the message spell. The bug then flies to the target, delivering the message. The target can only respond with "yes" or "no," which then magically appears written on your hand.

2)  Inclement Cluster  — A cluster of quartz crystals that can summon a rain cloud as if by a modified create or destroy water spell, which also grants temporary resistance to fire damage. The cloud always stays near the cluster when summoned. It can also ward an area against fire, preventing the space from being lit and catching ablaze.

3)  Third Eye Circlet  — A metallic circlet woven into an eye, which sits at the back of your head while it's worn. You can't be surprised while wearing this circlet, and you can suspend your own senses in order to see from it.

4)  High-Heartening Harp  — A fey harp that grant creatures bardic inspiration when you use your Song of Rest. This special inspiration die lasts for 1 hour, and is doubled if used on Charisma or Wisdom checks, or a saving throw against the charmed or frightened conditions

5)  Defiant Taurus Armor  — A set of armor made of intertwined belts. While wearing it, you take on certain bull-like aspects: you can use Strength to intimidate creatures, instead of Charisma, or gain a bonus to attacking a creature of your choice.

6)  Captain's Wright  — A staff carved from the mast of a sunken ship. You can use it to link yourself to a vehicle to gain several benefits, like knowing how damaged it is, make Perception checks from is location when you are within a mile of it, or expend hit dice to repair it.

7)  Time in a Bottle  — A mace in the form of a glass bottle, the stopper sealed with fine wax. When you roll a 20 on an attack roll, the target is affected by the slow spell and the bottle gains 1 charge. As an action you can expend all charges to cast time stop for a number of turns equal to the charges expended.

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

Keep on adventuring!
