The Boots of Spider Climbing are boots which permit the wearer to cast the spell Spider Climb on themselves, with no need for concentration.
Description[]
Someone wearing the boots may cast Spider Climb on themselves, which lasts an hour and does not require concentration when cast in this way.[1]
History[]
Vox Machina looted the boots from a pit fiend killed by Scanlan in the City of Brass.[2] After Keyleth identified their purpose, Percy claimed them.[3]
Percy first used the boots in the fight against Thordak and used them to get a better vantage point.[4] He frequently used them outside of combat: on the Island of Viscan to counteract the Reverse Gravity effect over the chasm by sticking to the bridge;[5] in Pandemonium, with Vox Machina transformed into birds in his pockets, to make it easier to descend a steep cliff in the wind;[6] and to get above water while restrained after Sylas Briarwood threw him and Vex'ahlia into the ocean at their wedding rehearsal.[7]
Trivia[]
- The Boots of Spider Climbing are similar but not identical to the Slippers of Spider Climbing. The slippers permit the wearer to climb upside-down or vertically at all times, rather than just for an hour; however, they cannot be used to stick to slippery surfaces.[8] The boots have no such limitation.
- Keyleth mentions that these boots might have been created by the Ashari.[1]
