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)  Gravestitcher's Shroud  — This macabre cloak is made from the bloodied clothes of fallen creatures. It has charges represented by patches that can be used to deal extra necrotic damage, which disintegrate after being used. If you have Weaver's Tools, you can sew new pieces of clothing onto the cloak to regain a charges.

2)  Caravan Guard  — Armor made from a shattered caravan wagon, with a heavy chest built in to the back. You count as one size larger for your carrying capacity, the chest functions as a bag of holding locked as if by the arcane lock spell. You can create a platform on your shoulders granting creatures who fit in it half cover.

3)  Solacesteel Preserver  — A necklace for a cleric or paladin made from a shattered mourningsteel weapon, strung on a braided silver chain. It acts as a holy symbol, prevents you from being frightened, and has charges that can be used to cast healing and charming spells. Your charms are effective even when targeting a creature you are fighting, as are your healing spells for fallen creatures at the cost of you taking necrotic damage.

4)  Spell Bolt Wraps  — These fist wraps are made from the cut up strips of spell scrolls and enhances the user's physical attacks. When you attune to the wraps, you can pick from a selection of cantrips, and when you make an attack, you can replace one of your attacks with the cantrip, using your Strength or Dexterity as the spellcasting ability.

5)  Crumbling Blade  — A longsword made of cobbled together stones. Once per turn you can deal extra damage on a hit, though this causes the sword to become smaller, eventually crumbling away. The sword reforms fully at dawn.

6)  Fang Keeper  — A silver chain necklace with various monster teeth on it. As a bonus action you can use one of the teeth to create a spectral maw that attacks a nearby creature you can see, dealing damage based on the CR of the monster the tooth is from. You can also add new teeth to the necklace from recently dead monsters.

7)  Dragon Queen’s Pride  — A cloak made from stitched chromatic dragon wings. While wearing the cloak you can fly and are good at intimidation. You can align yourself to a color of chromatic dragon, allowing you to change your spell damage to the dragon's damage type as well as gaining resistance to that type. You can expend charges on a few special actions: a retaliation when taking damage, striking fear in a target, or breathing draconic breath.
