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) Black Blood of Rage — A potion that causes a creature to enter an uncontrollable rage, boosting its size, strength, and healing while forcing it to attack the nearest creature without regard for allies. After the effect ends, it suffers severe exhaustion and collapses prone.
2) Hushwing Moccasins — Magical shoes that silence your movement, boost stealth checks, and let you avoid opportunity attacks when striking enemies up close. They also grant Rogues extra mobility by allowing them to Hide after using Cunning Action to dash around attacks.
3) Handheld Catapult — a compact magical launcher that fires small projectiles as either a weapon or spell attack, dealing bludgeoning damage on a hit. It can hold several projectiles at once but requires an action to reload them all.
4) Risa the Ardent's Hammer — A warhammer that once belonged to a warrior heroine capable of withstanding powerful attacks. You can use a reaction while holding it to expend its charges and reduce the damage taken by an ally of your choice within range.
5) Everarmed Duelist's Gloves — These gloves allow you to conjure a pistol and rapier through hand gestures, letting you attack with both in quick succession, dealing psychic damage. They can also be used to challenge a creature to a duel, forcing a target to focus on you until the effect ends.
6) Shadow and Brimstone — A linked pair of magical pistols that grant bonus attacks, dealing bonus damage (either fire or necrotic). They also have charges that can be used for a cone barrage, a reaction hellfire shot, or a weakening curse.
7) Tagelheart — A black bone tagelharpa with stylized hearts etched into it. You gain a bonus to Charisma (Performance) checks made with it and can detect the heartbeat of all creatures within range. You can expend charges for various effects, such as outlining creatures based on their intentions (i.e. hostile or friendly), casting the calm emotions spell, or engulf a target in sorrow which deals damage and potentially frightens them.
Keep on adventuring!
