Workshop Week 33 — What kind of item should we make?

Balloon Observatory Wondrous Item, Very Rare (requires attunement) This giant balloon carries a hardy basket underneath. The balloon and basket change color to blend in with the sky around it, making it invisible to everything beyond 60 feet from it. While attuned to this balloon it always floats between 1,000 and 10,000 feet above the ground directly above you, and you can mentally command it to change altitude over the course of 10 minutes. By focusing for 1 minute, you can teleport from the ground to the balloon’s basket or vice versa, with anything you are wearing or carrying traveling with you. The basket is 10 feet wide and long and has a depth of 5 feet and hold up to 1000 pounds of material and items in addition to you. Once per day, by using an action, you can call down an airstrike from the balloon onto a spot you can see within 600 feet of you. At the beginning of your next turn, the projectile lands and every creature you choose within 30 feet of that spot must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or take 12d6 fire damage, or half damage on a success.

The spell does not require concentration, but it ends when you take off one of the bangles. Ankles: While wearing these bangles on your ankles, wind graces your step. You hover half a feet off solid ground (but not over liquid), and your movement speed increases by 5. When you fall, you do not take falling damage, as the wind gently lays you down and lets you hover above the ground before falling. You also know the Longstrider and Pass Without Trace spells, which you can cast once per day each. Wrists: While wearing these on your wrists, ambient air around you disrupts ranged attacks and makes you harder to hit. You are always considered to have at least half cover against ranged attacks. You also know the Wind Wall and Gust of Wind spells (DC 14), which you can cast once per day each.

Squallbreaker This heavy silver pike swirls with air elemental energy and contains a bolt of pure lightning suspended in its core. Successful attacks made with this spear deal an additional 1d10 lightning damage. Stormcry. As an action you can focus the elemental lightning to create a storm centered on yourself. The swirling wind makes the area in a radius of 30 ft difficult terrain, and when you make an attack with the pike on your turn its range is increased by 20 ft and attacks made beyond its regular range deal lightning damage instead of piercing. If you are outdoors in stormy conditions the radius increases to 60 ft, the additional attack range increases to 50 ft, and you can deal an additional 1d10 lightning damage on an attack once on your turn. The storm can be heard out to 300 ft. This effect lasts for 1 minute or until you dispel it as a bonus action. Once used, it cannot be used again until the next dawn. Stormfracture. As an action you can destabilize the suspended lightning to shatter the spear, imbuing you with its elemental energy. The weather around you immediately becomes a torrential storm as by control weather, and this effect even creates storm conditions within enclosed areas. An electrical copy of the pike that deals lightning damage forms in your hand which you can wield and you are considered to have the benefits of the Stormcry ability. After 1 minute the electrical energy overwhelms you, blasting outward in a colossal wave of energy. All creatures within 60 ft must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or take 8d6 lightning damage, or half as much on a success. You automatically fail this saving throw and suffer a level of exhaustion.

While holding this rod you have advantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics). Spells. You can cast featherfall, jump, longstrider, and levitate (self only) using their standard casting times while holding this rod. Only one of these spells can be active at any time. Windblown Vortex. As an action while holding this rod you can release the rod's elemental energy to create a colossal vortex of air. This vortex has a radius of 30 ft centered on a point within 120 ft and remains for 1 minute. The area is considered difficult terrain and all creatures that start their turn within or enter the area for the first time on their turn must make a DC 17 Strength saving throw taking 2d6 bludgeoning damage and being pulled 15 ft towards the center on a failure or taking half as much damage on a success and not being pulled.

While it is open you gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed and gain the effects of the gust of wind spell. This effect lasts for one minute or until you screw the lid closed again as a bonus action. Once it has been used, this property cannot be activated again until the following dawn.

Whirlwind Sling This sling has wisps of elemental air sewn into its fabric. Attacks made with this magic weapon deal an additional 1d4 bludgeoning damage and their range is doubled. Additionally, when you take the attack action using this sling, you gain +2 AC against ranged attacks as the wind around you whirls to deflect projectiles.

Skylit Greaves These finely crafted mithral greaves are imbued with elemental air, and crackle with sparks of electricity. You gain resistance to lightning damage and are always under the effects of the jump spell while wearing these greaves. In addition, this item has 6 charges.

A mild wind constantly whistles through the headdress. When you activate your Rage, a Tornado erupts from your head and swirls above you for the duration. You become deafened and gain +2 AC against ranged attacks for the duration.

For grass, some kind of scythe that allows you to cast entangle/plant growth.

1. A sword that heals with the power of the grasslands 2. A scimitar-boomerang that always returns 3. A warhammer that impacts with the strength of an oncoming wave

Wyrmling Scale Bracers Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement) These bracers are crafted from the harvested scales of a chromatic Wyrmling. They offer extra protection for adventurers that choose freedom of movement over the encumbrance of thick armor and shields. While wearing these bracers, you gain a +1 bonus to AC if you are not wearing medium or heavy armor and using no shield. In addition, these bracers still retain some of their elemental power, granting you resistance to that damage type. Additionally, you can use a bonus action to make a weapon attack with the sharpened point of the bracer, using the statistics of a shortsword, which deals elemental damage instead of piercing damage. Your damage resistance and weapon attack damage with this item are determined by the Wyrmling color that was used in the creation of these bracers.

Aquila's Cry Wondrous item, rare A polished bronze horn with a muzzle fashioned in the shape of an eagle's head. As an action, you can blow this horn to release a torrent of howling wind in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in the cone must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw.

Idea: Cloud braces that alleviate falling damage, or after a set amount of charging the clouds get darker and generate water and/or lightning.

I have an idea! A wooden scythe (for druids) that deal some kind of extra damage and helps increase the amount of food a crop harvested with it gives!
