Boots of striding and springing were a pair of magical boots that allowed the wearer to potentially become faster, and jump further.[3]
Description[]
Boots of striding and springing were blessed by Shaundakul as a part of their creation. There existed many varieties of these boots as each priest and crafter created fairly unique versions of these boots.[1]
The wearer of some of the boots had their movement speed increased to 5 ft (1.5 m) per second, unless it was higher, in which case it did not change their speed.[3]
Those who wore these boots would not feel burdened by carrying a large amount of weight, including heavy armor. As well as this, the wearer could jump triple their standard distance.[3]
Some boots of striding did not affect the wearer's speed, but made the travel much easier and pleasant by improving wearer's constitution and making them more resilient.[1]
History[]
In 1491 DR, Tharden Rockseeker, a dwarf explorer, wore such boots whilst camped in the Wave Echo Cave. He, however, was killed by Nezznar, and his brother was taken hostage.[3]
