Value of these cool boots?

[Technik4]

Well if you have magic of faerun you can compare it to Shaundakul's Boots.

Base Speed: +10
1/day: Double base speed (not counting boots) for 5 minutes
1/week: cast find the path (11th level caster).

They retail for 6,300 gp.

On the other hand, you have the boots of Springing and Striding (errata'd to 6k cost) that double (max +50')

Where is this max +50 comming from?

It's an oversimplified note from an FAQ entry.

The most common way for a PC to have a base speed above 50' is to be a high level monk... but anything above 50' for a monk is Supernatural, and the Boots only multiply your normal rate, which (according to the FAQ) does not include [Su] speed.

If you were a light warhorse with a base speed of 60', that's not Su, so the Boots (well, Horseshoes) would still double your speed just fine.

Yep, just wanted a clarification. Especailly since one of my charecters is Base 50 and if I take a level of Barbarian, it would be nice to have that doubleing of 60 instead of 50

My response would be "Yup, no problem."

And strictly speaking, it's not 50' that's the magic number for monks - it's 9th level. So for halflings, gnomes, and dwarves, it's anything above 40'.

An human ex-barbarian/monk would go 60' before it became Supernatural.

YES! Now if my DM tries to stop it, all I needa say is "But but, Hypersmurf from ENWorld said "Yup no problem"!!!!!

Yeah, I oversimplified. I was trying to avoid the usual debate of exactly HOW fast a monk with boots moves.

Now, for the real brain-teaser:

If I Awaken a warhorse, and then he takes 10 Monk levels, and he puts on the Horseshoes of Speed, how fast does he move?

 

[Hypersmurf]

You can add Ranes to that list, because according to this post, he agrees with me

If I Awaken a warhorse, and then he takes 10 Monk levels, and he puts on the Horseshoes of Speed, how fast does he move?

Is there a "Speed of Larger Monks" table in Sword and Fist, or just a "Damage of Larger Monks" table?

Basically, figure out how fast a 9th level monk with a racial base speed of 60 goes, and double it. The 10th level has no effect.

From the DMG for creating use activated magic items I could make boots of expiditous retreat for 2000 gp.

Or, rather, the DM could -- www.superdan.net/dndfaq3.html

A disappointing effort... I give that one and a half stars.

Really, dcollins, you've given far better lectures...
