Stormstrider Boots

These are simple boots of soft leather, a light brown in hue. Gold stitching surrounds the cuffs.

Before and after making the attack as part of your spring attack, you become pure lightning. You can move through occupied squares during your spring attack, and any creature in a square you move through takes 9d6 points of electricity damage (Reflex DC 17 half). Moving through a creature's space more than once during your spring attack doesn't have any additional effect. You rematerialize briefly at a single point during your spring attack, enabling you to make a single attack as normal.

Stormstrider boots also provide a 5-foot enhancement bonus to your land speed.

These boots function only for characters who have the Spring Attack feat. Activating the primary function of the boots is a swift action that you can take only when initiating a spring attack. This function works once per day. The bonus to your land speed requires no activation; it applies as long as the boots are worn. For a split second before stormstrider boots activate, the stitching flashes and crackles with power, and the boots smell of ozone for a round after use.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, expeditious retreat, lightning leap.
