[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 1088831, member: 2829"] Seriously, you have to put a little (just a little, it doesn't take much) thought into this. EDIT: Crap, that sounded really bad. I didn't mean anything by that, so I apologize in advance if it came across this way. My bad. First, remember the DMGs guide to magic item creation...[b][i]compare your new item to what's already in there.[/i][/b] Second, look at the boots of striding & springing and break down the cost... +5 competence to jump -> 2,500gp 2,500 - 5,500 = 3,000 This item looks like it follows the additional powers guidelines in the Behind The Curtain, rather than going by the table, so that means that adding +10 feet to your base land speed would probably cost you 1,500gp on its own.
