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)  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.

2)  Foot Wraps of the Glacier Wanderer  — Foot wraps for a monk that give you cold resistance and make your unarmed strikes with your feet deal additional cold damage. You can spend ki points to cast the water walk on yourself.

3)  Veil of the Mindless  — A veiled cap made from the still living body of a symbiotic jellyfish, wearing it provides resistance to psychic damage and negates the feedback of effects that would cause psychic damage. Whenever you make an Intelligence check, though, you have a chance of your mind wandering off and become incapacitated for up to 1 minute.

4)  Safeguard Tankard  — A glass bottomed tankard that reacts when its contents are tampered with. If poison or a foreign object has been placed into a drink, the glass base will start to glow.

5)  Cubic Gelatinous Core  — A gelatinous organ in the rough shape of a heart, attuning to it causes the heart to meld into your chest and your torso becomes transparent. You gain resistance to acid damage and a climb speed equal to your walking speed. In addition, you can cast a various spells such as arcane hand and web. However, you take on more traits of a gelatinous cube, damaging nonmagical metals, permanently damaging them.

6)  Crown of the Forgotten Circle  — A withered flower crown overgrown with nettles and briarts made for a druid. While attuned, you have resistance to necrotic and poison damage, and you always have the blight and spike growth spells prepared. You can summon a dense patch of nettles, creating difficult terrain and poisoning anyone who enters the space. The flowers on the crown, however, may drain any healing magics you cast.

7)  Gauntlets of the Mantis Shrimp  — A pair of bulbous gauntlets that shift colors constantly, wearing them makes your unarmed attacks magical and deal thunder damage, heavy armored targets taking additional damage. When you roll a 20 on an attack, the target may become dazed, reducing their AC, attack rolls, and unable to use reactions. Additionally, you can cast the see invisibility spell once a day.

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

Keep on adventuring!
