Boots of Traction

These leather boots only come up just above the ankle. They fit all humanoid users of medium height (5' to 7'.) The user will have amazing traction with these boots on. The mountaineering skill is improved with a +5 modifier, or granted if the wearer didn't have the proficiency. The wearer can ignore all slippery surfaces beneath the boots except for surfaces which are utterly sheer and have no traction whatsoever (most likely a magical effect.) If used for anchoring, the boots can dig in to support up to 600 lbs. This does not mean that the wearer can handle all that weight, however (which could be extrememly painful; imagine suddenly supporting two heavy warriors who have slipped during their climb while the rope is tied around your torso. The boots won't budge, so if you don't cut the rope, the combined dead weight could pull you apart like a torture device.) Clever players will attach ropes and the like to the boots themselves. The boots must be worn to achieve this effect. The "Climb Walls" ability is improved by 20% with these boots. The boots are extremely durable and absolutely weatherproof.
