Boots of Silence

These boots allow the wearer to move without sound.

• The boots are water resistant and offer protection for the feet from freezing surfaces.

• The boots offer the wearer complete silence during normal movement in normal circumstances.

• The silence extends to items carried by the wearer coming into contact with the surrounding environment (as long as contact with the item is maintained). Thus, a door can be opened silently or a ladder can be dragged across the ground (although see detection circumstance below).

• Silent movement increase chances of surprise (Surprise Others +17%) if worn by creatures without an adjustment to surprise others. If worn by creatures with a bonus to surprise others that is related to stealth (per the GM; due to silent movement, even in part), the bonus due to the boots is +10%.

• If paired with invisibility, the two effects allow automatic surprise (1 segment) for creatures without exceptional scent, detection of air movement or other ability unrelated to vision or sound of movement (e.g. echolocation).

Boots Sizing

• Most (d%; 01-90) boots of silence only fit slender humanoids between 4-ft. and 5.5-ft tall.

• A few (d%; 91-00) will resize to fit larger or smaller humanoids (1-ft. to 10-ft. tall).

One Boot. If only a single boot is worn, the effect is that the sound of the creature's movement if dropped in half but no other benefit is gained (the creature makes a normal amount of noise [out to half radius] and objects interacted with make the normal amount of noise [out to normal radius]).
