[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 119119, member: 834"] Nothing's stopping him, except perhaps survival instinct. Unless my friends were somehow able to match my movement, I wouldn't move 80 feet away from them, jump over things that they can't jump over and jump on top of something that will take them a full round to climb. If you pull your stunts, make your attack and then fail your save against hold person, tell me, who's got your back? Of course if you use your speed to reach an ally in time, it's a more useful way to use the boots than if you use them to get in a wacky tactical situation. My campaign has reached level 13. I've seen a lot of means to enhance movement. I've also noticed that a lot of players use these means mostly to get wildly out of position and get killed in ridiculous ways because no one can help them! The most absurd was the flying wizard who got snatched by a flying bulette. The speed monster (barbarian or not) who arrives in the hot spot one or two round before the rest of the party is also a classic. Somehow, the slowest PCs tend to die less in my campaign. I guess that's because they stick together! [/QUOTE]
