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) Rattler Battlers — The heads of these strange clubs are rattlesnake rattles, somehow expanded and bent to form the typical rounded shape, and can also be used as maracas. You can use them if you're proficient with drums, can add your proficiency bonus when you attack with them, and can summon a swarm of poisonous snakes.

2) Wavebender's Surfboard — This incredibly tall, wooden shield features intricate carvings of waves and ocean life. If dropped into water, you can stand upon it and ride it as a surfboard, as it is magically propelled forward.

3) Krash'en Ryde's Cymbals — A bronze dragon-scale shield that you can transform into into electrified cymbals, allowing you to benefit from both shields, shove creatures with them, and creatures shoved take lightning damage. You can also crash the shields together for a powerful shatter spell.

4) Badge of the Frontier Marshal — A lawkeeper's badge that grants you a bonus to checks as a figure of authority, can cast the zone of truth spell, and empowers your command spell as well. The badge has a strong moral compass, despises lawbreaking, and pushes you to uphold the ways of justice.

5) Dryad’s Token — A protective bracelet made from dryad bark that grants advantage on Charisma checks with dryads and plants. You can create a protective layer of bark on you, as if you were under the barkskin spell.

6) Rising Turret — This three-barreled firearm was built for defense. You can speak this musket's command word allows you to hover for a short time to deliver stronger attacks.

7) Spider Silk Laces — Laces made from a giant spider's silk that can be laced into footwear or tied onto them. While attuned to the laces, you gain a bonus on Dexterity checks and saving throws on keeping your footing, and can gain temporary tremorsense, preventing you from being ambushed.

Keep on adventuring!
