Workshop Week 03 — What kind of item should we make?
Hey Heroes!
Get ready for the next Wednesday Night Elite Workshop poll! I'll be going live tomorrow night, July 17th, at 7:30 pm EDT (GMT-4). You'll receive an email tomorrow evening with the exclusive Youtube link for you to come watch and participate!
Please vote on a direction below and comment with a general idea of an item you have that would fit the direction you voted for! There will be a second poll tomorrow featuring up to three of your commented suggestions using the winning direction from the poll today.
We'll figure out the exact mechanics together on stream before (and possibly while) I make the illustration for the most voted on item!
Remember that this will be an official Saddlebag item and will not credit anyone for the ideas generated through this process. Please only bring ideas you're comfortable with sharing to the workshop!

A staff or pendant or maybe some big brutish sort of orc weapon like a giant slab of stone as a great club or a maul. Possibly cursed. Influences them away from orcus towards another powerful being sort of like a warlock and their patron type of deal. The item could be inflicting pain, drawing blood, causing fear and/or paralysis maybe give a cantrip or some spells themed in the above manner if you want to give it some extra power and probably attunement
I've noticed there is a severe lack of greataxes in my campaign setting and one of my players is looking for that very special greataxe for his half orc barb. I picked orcish :)
Orcish. As for type, I think we could use some more armor. Something that subverts the usual orcish tropes of savage and tribal. Something that shows brutality, yet master craftmanship. I like the other mentions of incorperating blood magic, too.
Elven. DEX>STR all the way!
For something dwarven I'd love to see a fun Warhammer or handaxe
Wand of the Orchestra A great chieftain once wielded this wand to great effect in the raid on [town]. abilities would something like the battle master's Commander's Strike, or the mastermind's ranged help action.
An orcish pendant used to channel the RAGE OF GRUUMSH
Dwarven divining rod, tuned to detect rare metals by introducing a sample into the grip. Could have alternative fun applications for tracking down earth-based elementals and other craggy characters.
Maybe something less evil driven and more akin to the dwarf only items like dwarven plate and warhammer. It could synergy with the critical focus of the race.
For Orcs I think something like a cruel suit of armor that demands respect and loyalty, worn by a warchief or some evil ritual dagger for tapping into the dark magics of their gods, with themes of blood, shadow, and cruelty, used by a shaman
Yes blood magic
