boots of striding and springing help

ok what's the ruling on this. is it Double move or +10 to your movement?

SRD says double, I heard +10..what is it now?

Brekki · Oct 30, 2002

Double, just like the description in the DMG.

Double is the only thing I've heard for these.

Double move.

In Magoc of Faerun, the Books of Shaundakul give +10 move (or a multiplier x times per day).

But Striding and Springing has always been a double move. Aside from 50th level Epic Supermonks wearing them, I don't see that as broken.

No. It was changed to 6,000gp, but what does that have to do with movement rate?

Well, the character just gave up 6000 gold coins which wieghs 120lbs. Therefor the character can move faster as his encumbrance is greatly lessened.

They double the speed and give a +10 competency bonus to Jump checks, and there is no longer a height limit to jump distances. Not bad for the original 2500 g.p. market price!
