KICKS
Aura moderate transmutation; CL 8th
Slot feet; Price 8,000 gp; Weight 1/2 lb.
Description
These ragged, leather boots look like they've seen better days. The leather has obviously been dyed black, the toes are horribly scuffed, and the soles are worn. However when put on the are quite comfortable and fit nicely.
The magic of these boots is two-fold. First, they allow the wearer to "kick" open chests and doors at a distance of 10 feet. The wearer may attempt to break locked chests and doors, gaining a +4 circumstance bonus to the check.
Finally, the wearer may also preform the bull rush combat maneuver from a distance of 10 feet. The wearer gains a +4 circumstance bonus to CMB, but cannot move with the target.
Construction
Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, open/close and bull's strength; Cost 4,000 gp
Inspiration - Various. Link kicks open chests in many of the Legend of Zelda video games, which I always thought was interesting. The benefits of opening things at a distance in D&D is obvious, although the application didn't come to me until after playing with a good friend for several years. I think he ultimately inspired me to create the Kicks. His approach to the rules can sometimes be overwhelming, but we always have fun.
When I first revealed them in-game, I described them as having the initials G.R. scratched on the inside, a tribute to my friend's legendary character, Gregory Ryans.
Love you too!!!! Lol. I can be difficult. But it's my job to push you!
