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) Flask of Blue Flame — A crystal flask with a pale blue, liquid flame. You can pour out a drop to create a fire that produces either a cooling or warming effect, and additional drops can be added to increase the size and damage the fire does.

3) Beagle Light Bracelet — A silver bracelet that lets you summon a glowing canine companion who provides light to you and can also stand guard for up to 8 hours.

4) Treasure Hunter’s Chapeau — A wide brimmed hat that gives bonuses to Intelligence (Investigation) or Charisma (Persuasion) checks when gathering information on treasure. Additionally, when you fail a saving throw against a trap, you can use your reaction to releport to safety.

5) Protest Paper — A small square of yellow paper that you can use with a reaction to gain advantage on a saving throw against an area of effect spell cast by a friendly creature, negating or reducing the damage taken.

6) Breathing Room — A well-worn and battered firearm used by experienced lawmen. When you hit a creature with this weapon, you can expend a charge to either push your target back or to propel yourself backward without provoking opportunity attacks.

7) Staff of the Crossroads — A quarterstaff made from a crossroads sign with four separate signs pointing in different directions. You can use charges to dictate the direction of a creatures movement, or use the staff to detect the nearest settlements or well-known landmarks.

Keep on adventuring!
