From The Griffon's Saddlebag: Wondrous Items of the Chantry Armory
A hearty "Naram" to you, sweet Patrons! We have done it. We have "done the thing."
We have...collab-ed.
Specifically, we got a collab with the great Griffon's Saddlebag! Attached below you'll find beautiful art and full stat blocks for The Infantry Rings, The Bracers of the Azure Battalion, and the Imperial War Staff, all new magic items featured in our most recent episode (#8 The Catch). And so you can play along at home, these are the same stats and mechanics we'll be using for these items as we play our way further and farther into the world of Umora.
We've included digital blocks for you console cowgirls and cyberspace script-kiddies, and The Griffon's Saddlebag was nice enough to ALSO make some printable item cards for those of us who still heart emoji IRL experiences (touch, smells, etc).
We'll be sharing the art publicly, but the stat blocks and printable item cards are exclusive for Worlds Beyond Number patrons (that's you!) and for patrons of The Griffon's Saddlebag.
If you're not familiar with the Griffon's Saddlebag, you should be! It's a relentlessly incredible source of items and ideas for D&D 5e. I (taylor here, hello!) have been using Saddlebag items in my home games for like, a decade? I love them. Over at the Griffon's patreon you can find 1,200 magic items all crafted and drawn with care and endless imagination. They've got books as well! And of course (beep boop) a "webbed site."
Enjoy!
....if you dare.

ommmg SEEING THE THINGS
Such beautiful craftsmanship. 😍 I'm amazed at the balance of the system and the precise words chosen for mechanics for the 2 or more rings.
These are fantatic!
Tip on printing: go double-sided on cardstock, the front and back will line up and you get 2 cards with no folding or tape!! 😁
I thought those are blueprints that you could do a 3D-Print of the rings with...I was ready to print me some rings... Well I was way off.
LOOOVE THIS
These look awesome! I agree with previous comments these would be so cool as actual merch along with an “Ahoohoo” product line. I’d buy a hoodie or shirt and sticker immediately!
This is so cool!!
Love Griffon’s Saddlebag! I am using lots of their items in my witch themed campaign.
I DM a weekly D&D Strixhaven campaign. PC's at the Magic-User-Focused University will get to pick an item next session. Thanks for sharing the quality cards for both digital and physical formats!
Oop, Ame gunna die
I was expecting Griff, but I was sure as hell hoping the stats would be released as I was watching it last night I said it to myself "I hope they start giving us stats for items they find." *looks at the Witch class....*
Super cool! Makes me very excited for what might come next! 😁
I wasn't expecting it, and thank you one and all for providing it. It's not HUGE, but it is frikin' cool, and it makes me happy. From your happy patron, SKOL!
Very very cool! But yes, agreements with all the comments saying I want those rings as merch!!!😂😂
Awesome! Is there any chance we could get an official conversion for PF2? 🙂
Paul F. Twompkins?
In the future if your looking to expand the people you collab with I recommend sinlaire! Griffons has also worked with them in the past I believe!
Sinlaire RULES. if you know them, please introduce us! -t
I did think this was the witch class for a second. But I’m not disappointed
This is awesome! I did not expect this and really appreciate it being provided. Collabs are great, and GS is a wonderful fit.
so cool!! love this stuff, what a nice touch in an already deep podcast
Great collab! Lovely stuff from both creators. ❤️
How do I view these files? I've unzipped the file and tried to use Photos and Adobe viewer to view them but nothing has worked so far EDIT Never mind, I was using the MAC folder, all is good now
Oh wow! A bit of a wrinkle with wearing those rings for a long time!
Amazing perk for patrons. Y'all are killin' it.
So freaking cool
Aw yis!! Love this as a perk! Excited to see more in the future as well. :)
This is so exciting and a brand new D&D thing to fall deeply in love with!
I fuckin love Griffon's saddlebag! Hell yeah!
An absolute dream collab
I got a bit confused, can I also am a patron of Griffon's Saddlebag, so I was like oh no Patreon broke
From Taylor on Discord: "We go in depth on the rings in the next FC!"
wait where is the discord?! lol
obsessed
This is FANTASTIC!!!!
Real neat, the Infantry Rings are more problematic than I expected 😮
These are incredible! Love this collab!
Oof, I knew you couldn't wear those rings without some heavy risk.
Ugh I’ve been following Griffin Saddlebag for so long now!!! Love this creator.
Those ring stats!
This is awesome! I wanted to use those rings for my home game the second I heard what they did, and now I can! Thanks so much for these, they're gorgeous!
Omg for a second I thought the collab was making actual physical rings! This makes much more sense 😂😂
Was hoping it was a merch announcement ha
Oh my DM loves the saddlebag! Maybe with this I can finally convince him to listen to the podcast and stop procrastinating lol
Oh, wow, those are some *consequences* consequences on the rings. Wonder if the players were made aware of that at the time or if they find out later.
If I'm a DM, I'm *definitely* not telling my players and just narrate their becoming progressively sicker and sicker as they fail those saving throws. They should naturally be curious as to why they're having these saving throws and figuring out that some new item is causing problems and want to take it off.
These are amazing. The art is so beautiful I thought these were rings for purchase to wear. I was ready. Now I just need to go get the stat blocks.
Amaaaazing...
Oh dang now I want to wear these rings hahaha
omfg this is the best
I'm in public, working. I almost shouted profanity from excitement. 😱🥵😍😍
These are so dope. Hell yeah
Been a fan of the saddlebag for a while, incredibly hype about this collab
Nice! Griffon's Saddlebag do great magic item art!
Oh HELLyeah
