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) Indigo Stray's Conviction — A set of chains related to the Red Queen's burden and Violet King's promise, allowing the attuned creature to take the brunt of hits and damaging effects instead of nearby allies, pile onto ally attacks, but at the cost of a curse.

2) The Sashimi Cleaver — A magical handaxe that has a bonus to attack and damage against swimming creatures, and can harvest meals from fish. When you have a certain number of meals harvested, you can cast a version of the heroes' feast spell using it.

3) Smelling Salts — A pouch containing multiple uses of potent smelling materials, allowing the user to wake those who are unconscious quickly as long as they are not dead.

4) Scroll of True Self — A scroll to make your inner appearance match your outer one. You can use the scroll to cast the alter self spell using the Change Appearance option. When the spell ends the appearance becomes permanent.

5) Trainer’s Handguards — A pair of protective gloves designed to improve the wearers fighting abilities. You can expend charges to gain a bonus to improvised weapon attacks or your AC, but the magic may fade when all charges are expended.

6) Mourningsteel Banner — A war standard made from mourningsteel, adorn with a bloodied army flag long passed. You can spend a charge and plant the banner into the ground to summon multiple animated armors to fight by your side for a limited time.

7) Instant Bunker Banner — A flag with 12 charges that, once planted, can be used to cast the tiny hut spell from it that remains for a number of hours equal to the charges used to cast it. It can send out a beam of energy at a creature when you use an action to expend another charge while inside the hut.

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

Keep on adventuring!
