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) Narrator's Bookmark — This red leather bookmark has a rounded end and is creased in the middle. When placed inside an open book you can speak its command word, causing it to animate like a tongue, reading the book aloud in the language it was written and continues until it finishes the page.
2) Staff of The Flytrap — When you cast the shillelagh cantrip on the staff, multiple flytraps bloom from it, dealing extra acid damage on hit. You can also expend charges to cast the entangle spell which also deals additional acid damage.
3) Longshot Stand — This tripod is designed for use with firearms, stabilizing them and holding itself level with magic. A weapon stabilized with the tripod can be deployed. While deployed, the weapon can't be moved, but its long range attacks are made normally, and its critical threshold is reduced by 1 (such as rolling a 19 on d20).
4) Portable Window — This customizable frame fits on a wall. It magically holds onto a wall on which it's placed, creating a window through the wall. If the window should normally contain glass, it does so, and creates a window that can be opened from your side. You can remove the window by prying it off carefully.
5) Master’s Gi of Meteoric Descent — This monk's gi can convert kinetic energy into enhanced martial arts power. By using your Step of the Wind, you can add additional martial arts dice to your next strike depending on how far you move on your turn.
6) Elemental Cartridge — This tin box is designed to hold up to six of your firearm bullets. Daily at dawn, any bullets stored in the tin gain elemental properties and deal bonus elemental damage to any targets hit by them.
7) Remnant of Extinctions' Endurance — A staff composed of long-extinct fossils. When you take damage you can use a reaction to gain resistance to that type of damage. You can then cast a fireball or lightning bolt spell that deals the same damage type you gained resistance to. When you are reduced to 0 hp, you can drop to 1 instead and recreate an extinction event in an area around yourself.
8) Witch’s Boomstick — A musket made from a witch's broomstick. You can use a command word to have it fly to your hand, and can cast a few spells including hex from it. When you attack a creature affected by the weapon's hex, you have increased range and can make a free movement after hitting them.
9) Breathing Room — A well-worn and battered firearm used by experienced lawmen. When you hit a creature with this weapon, you can expend a charge to either push your target back or to propel yourself backward without provoking opportunity attacks.
10) Railrunner Maul — A massive maul made from the parts of a destroyed mining machine that blinds a creature with scalding steam when you roll a 20 on an attack roll. The maul has charges and can be used to summon spectral rails that grant you bonus while while moving along them, such as dealing additional damage after moving along the rails, or ignoring difficult terrain that the rails cross.
Keep on adventuring!

would be really funny if the Gi and the Staff won The staff of dead dinosaurs, and the impact that made them that way
