(This is twice the 50 foot speed the monk would have at 8th level, which is the fastest nonsupernatural speed the monk can achieve).  This is getting good.....and I get to quote myself. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> Wow, I guess there are a great many champions for the "it doubles your move - period" theory.  I'm guessing that this view is popular since it allows those interested to get more mileage out of this magic item.  I wonder what the motive would be for one to argue so energetically in favor of this view....perhaps having a monk with this item?  Just wondering.  My favorite is the contention that "errata" is the only "official" way to  change a rule, and that the FAQ is for "clarification" only.  Oh, I see, when clarifying a rule, the clarification given - like the example in the text below is not really binding...its a clarification only.  Therefore, even.......no, especially, if you have a monk character using the boots of striding and springing this rather specific example of how the rule is to be applied to this scenario in the game does not apply to your monk using the boots of striping and springing.  So it should read....On page 40 of the PHB it says that From 9th level on the monk's running ability is actually a supernatural ability.  Once that occurs, a monk's fast movement no longer stacks with the boots of striding and springing .***new line*** The exception to this clarification is that if you are playing a monk character and are using the boots of striding and springing then you may disregard this clarification - it is only intended to apply to monks wearing the boots of striding and springing when played by other people.*** At 9th level, lets say....someone elses, human monk for example, has a movement speed of 60.  If wearing boots of striding and springing , their monks speed is 100. (This is twice the 50 foot speed thier monk would have at 8th level, which is the fastest nonoperational speed the monk can achieve).  For your monk its double your speed period! Go crazy with it.....Oh, now I get it....how could I have misunderstood?It seems rather straight forward to me...this example applies to everyone elses monks when using the boots of striding and springing.</blockquote>
