Heroic 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 can submit your ideas on Discord, too! Come join us in the #patron-item-workshop channel!

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)  Shattered Glass Bracelets  — This glass bracelet grants a bonus to AC and has charges to cast the shield spell on yourself or ally, creating a glass aegis. If the attack still hits, the shield explodes and the attacker is targeted by sacred flame cantrip, automatically failing its saving throw. Expending the last charge causes the bracelet to shatter and lose the AC bonus until the next dawn.

2)  Reliquary of (Un)Life  — A scepter of two praying hands, each with 2 pearl rings, that doubles as a mace. While attuned, you can cast the revivify spell without material components, turning one of the pearls black. If the spell fails for any reason, the revivify instead becomes the raise dead spell creating a zombie with its original memories and stats, but changes it creature type to undead.

3)  Rod of the Winter Court's Barricade  — An icicle carved to look like the top of a castle tower. You can plant it in the ground to cast a more powerful version of the wall of ice spell topped with ballista, which can be used to cast the ray of frost cantrip.

4)  Phantom Fire Staff  — A charred staff topped with a ghostly flame that can be used to cast the scorching ray spell. When you do, choose a creature hit by it to suffer the effects of the phantasmal killer spell, seeing themselves covered in hellfire. Other creatures hit by scorching ray can also see this illusion and take psychic damage if they get within 5 feet of the afflicted creature.

5)  Drowsebloom  — The petals of this flower shift when examined closely and draw your gaze in. You can crush this flower’s petals to cast the hypnotic pattern spell. A creature that is charmed for the full duration has the suggestion spell cast on them.

6)  Tracer  — A vambrace made from the scales of a young gold dragon. You can spend charges to cast magic missile or branding smite from it, and magic missiles cast from this vambrace can trigger the effect of a branding smite cast from this vambrace.

7)  Submerged Reins  — This necklace of woven seaweed and water lilies can allow you to breathe underwater. You can use it you cast find steed which summons a white warhorse with a seaweed hair, a swim speed, and can choose to be under the effects of the water walk spell at will.

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

Keep on adventuring!
