Renowned 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 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) High Tension String — This bow string is made from a highly tensile material. When you hit with a ranged attack using a bow or crossbow that was strung with this thread, you deal an additional damage die of the weapon's damage, but reduces the normal and long range by half.

2) Best Friend's Tunic — An astonishingly soft and plush tunic. While wearing it, you can use an action to hug a creature within reach and expend one or more Hit Dice, healing the target of the hug by the amount rolled on the dice. If they use a reaction to hug you back, you both regain bonus hit points.

3) Totem of the North — This necklace crafted from various feathers, claws, and teeth  of northern beasts. It has charges that you can use to cast polymorph on yourself, transforming into various beasts, with stronger options requiring more charges. You also retain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma when transformed.

4) Potion of Immovability — After drinking this slightly metallic tasting potion, you become magically fixed in place for 1 minute. You are paralyzed and don't move, even defying gravity, and can support a huge amount of weight before the effect ends. A creature can attempt to move you with a DC 30 Strength check.

5) Baton of the Blood Waltz — A wand of bone and ruby that grants a bonus to spell attack rolls and to the saving throw DCs of your warlock spells. As a bonus action, you can force a creature cursed by one of your warlock spells to succeed on a Strength save or use it’s reaction to move up to 30 feet in any direction of your choice. Undead, constructs, or plants are unaffected.

6) Stormstone Jolt — Daggers hewn from Stormrock and hold a small wind elemental geode in the pommel. When you hit with this dagger, you can deal additional lightning damage to the target. If you do, the target cannot take reactions until the start of its next turn.

7) Wavebender's Surfboard — A tall, +1 shield that's covered in traditional Polynesian markings that can be stood on in the water as a surfboard, allowing it to ferry you across water with increased speed.

Thanks to everyone who submitted item ideas and voted for them this week!
