Workshop Week 09 — August item direction runoff!
It's that time again, heroes!
Get ready for the next Wednesday Night Elite Workshop poll! 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.
The first workshop of the new month features the second-place item directions from the previous one. This month, we have something for defense, a Monk, or made of scales to choose from! Which will rise after a previous defeat? Both the Monk and scales options suffered nailbiting defeats!
As part of this monthly runoff, the normally exclusive livestream will be freely accessible. Come hang out with the larger community tomorrow night and make an 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!
Let's make something exciting together!

Monk: a two handed weapon like the Tetsubo or Naginata.
Monk: Wand (or Staff) of Monk Hand: Allows you to cast Mage Hand. You can use a bonus action to move the hand up to 30 feet and make an unarmed strike, using your martial arts die and Dexterity for attacks and damage. When you take the Attack action or use Flurry of Blows, you can replace any of your attacks with an attack of this Mage Hand.
Monk: Gloves of Energy Deflection. Allows Deflect Missiles to work on Ranged Spell Attacks. When you reduce the ranged spell attack's damage to 0, you can either send the spell back (same with deflect missiles) or you can absorb the spell, empowering your next turn's unarmed strikes to deal additional damage with the same type as the absorbed spell (like the Absorb Elements spell).
Monk: Amulet of the Waymaker. Item flavor is a Monk item that encourages them to "pave the way" for teammates and lend their mobility/utility features. When the Monk uses Step of the Wind, allies within 15 feet can use a reaction to move equal to the Monk's bonus movement from their Unarmored Movement feature. When the Monk uses Slow Fall, allies within 15 feet reduce their falling damage equal to half the damage prevented by the Monk's Slow Fall.
Jade Destiny shortsword, monk +1, and crits on a 19 or 20. Can cast Heroism 1/LR using Wisdom.
A bracelet made of scales from a dragon. The bracelet can extend over one's arm, making unarmed attacks into 1dx slashing +1dx elemental damage of the dragons type.
quickstep greaves gives *2 to unarmored movement for 30 seconds at the cost of 5 ki. (numbers adjustable.)
might be a little too ambitious, but there is also the items from #community-item-workshop. 4 elemental Sashes.
Airstep footwraps Wondrous item, rare, REquires attunement by a monk While you are wearing these wraps around your feet, you are able to run on air. Literally. If you would move into a space that has no ground you can walk on, you can still move through it as if there was gound there. You can only move up to 15 feet this way, and you have to end your movement on solid groud otherwise you fall. You can still jump and leap while you are walking on the air. You can also use these wraps to move upwards like stepping on invisible stairs to reach a height of 15 feet.
Headband of the Ascetic Warrior Wondrous item, rare requires attunement by a monk While wearing this scarlet silk headband, you are able to see the Ki of those around you, as well as manipulate your own in subtle ways. You are considered to be under the effects of the Detect Magic and Darkvision spells while you are wearing this headband. Additionally, the headband has 5 charges that reset daily at dawn. These charges can be used to cast the following spells: 1 charge: Longstrider, Faerie Fire (centered on yourself), and Jump 3 charges: Blur, See Invisibility 5 charges: Dispel Magic Any spells cast in this way must be cast at their lowest level.
