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)  Solacesteel Requiem  — This elegant weapon is forged from solacesteel, a metal that resonates with the tranquility of spirits and imbued with the ashes of honored warriors. You deal additional radiant damage with it and As an action, you can invoke the spirits to grant each creature of your choice within 10 feet temporary hit points and advantage on their next attack.

2)  Herbalist’s Journal  — This old leather-bound book's pages are empty until placed on natural earth for 5 minutes. Afterward handwritten notes about flora that grows in the area appears written in Common. If you have proficiency with an herbalism kit you can make a skill check to learn how to make potions from the local plants and can make a potion over a short or long rest.

3)  Blazeblood Rapier  — A dark silver rapier that feels warm to the touch and seems to pulse in your hand while wielding it. When you attack with this weapon, you can expend 1 or more Hit Dice to take fire damage. For each Hit Dice spent your reach increases and the target takes fire damage from the Hit Dice rolled. If you die while attuned to it, your body is reduced to ashes.

4)  Ankheg Mandible  — A large ankheg mandible has been fashioned into a shovel-like sword. It deals extra acid damage on a hit and you can use an action to excavate a 5-foot cube of loose earth.

5)  Washed-Up Cloth  — This mildly soiled off-white cloth can't be cleaned in any way. While holding it, you can apply a thin layer of poison to any cup or similar vessel. A creature who drink from it must make a saving throw or be poisoned. Alternatively, you can throw the cloth at a creature to attempt to blind them.

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)  Crown of Seasons’ Embrace  — An exquisite silver crown containing the essence of all the Fey Courts. You can cast the misty step spell twice per day and can choose a season to gain resistance to the damage type associated with it. In addition, you gain elf-like features while attuned.
