Slippers or boots of spider climbing[1] were magical boots that allowed their wearer to effortlessly walk on vertical surfaces, or upside-down along ceilings, leaving their hands free.[2]
Description[]
Often unremarkable in appearance, slippers of spider climbing gave off a faint aura of alteration magic.[2]
Powers[]
Slippers of spider climbing were typically not effective on slippery surfaces, such as ice, or surfaces coated in oil or grease.[2] Following the Spellplague, boots of spiders climbing lost their sticky properties, instead merely enhancing their wearer's ability to climb.[1] However, the item was reverted to its traditional state after the Second Sundering.[6]
Notable Owners[]
- Alley Cat Kordin, a cat burglar in Tantras, owned a pair. The slippers did little to aid his career, as he was both extremely clumsy and unlucky.[7]
- Orlpar Husteem, a Waterdhavian noble and drug dealer.[8]
- Paelinn, a drow divine seeker of Kiaransalee in Maerimydra.[9]
- Pallandra, a high priestess of Set in Mulhorand.[10]
- Ryngoth, an ex-Red Wizard of Thay and the High Priest of Kya Mordrayn's cell of the Cult of the Dragon stationed in the Tower of Bones, Polyandrium of Myth Drannor in 1369 DR.[11]
