Heroic Ideas — Choose 2 community item ideas to be made!
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) Narrator's Bookmark — This red leather bookmark has a rounded end and is creased in the middle. When placed inside an open book you can speak its command word, causing it to animate like a tongue, reading the book aloud in the language it was written and continues until it finishes the page.
2) Hunter’s Fetish — A ranger's bundle of charms, carved from wood, claws, teeth, and bone. While attuned, your hunter's mark spell doesn't require concentration, you always know the direction and distance to a creature marked by your spell, and when close, the creature can't benefit from invisibility or anything that obscures it visually from you.
3) Gravitational Gloves — A pair of black leather gloves with a layer of metallic fabric sewn to the topside. While wearing these gloves, you can manipulate gravity in various ways, such as allowing yourself to hover, nullifying ranged attacks, slow your fall at will, and toss your enemies into the air before they slam back down.
4) A Necklace of Fire and Ice — A wire necklace made of cold ice and heated metal that is harmless to the touch. While wearing the necklace, you can expend charges to either convert cold or fire damage into the other, or reduce fire or cold damage.
5) Tome of the Arcane Infinite — A hefty encyclopedia with an infinite number of vellum pages inside that hold arcane knowledge from across the planes. While attuned, you gain a bonus to your Intelligence score and Intelligence (Arcana) skill checks. You can spend time trying to research any mystical- or arcane-based topic with the book, gaining additional knowledge on a successful check, though failure will leave you in a befuddled state for some time.
6) Expeditionary Planar Outpost — This flagpole is topped with an ever-waving flag depicting the various planes in a moving diagram. When planted into the ground with its command word, you can create an alarm-protected exploratory outpost with a large tent. Inside the tent, a creature can use one of the various stations for a different activity, such as cooking, mapmaking, navigating, and scouting, with additional benefits.
7) Knight's Watch — A pole that, when held while perfectly still, makes you indistinguishable from an armored statue of a knight holding a polearm. You decide what the statue looks like, but it can only ever be an armored statue.
Keep on adventuring!
