Help: Boots of Striding and Springing.


Rules Questions


So here's my question. The boots of Striding and Springing provide a +5 bonus to Jump Checks, but also a 10 foot base land speed increase. Does this 10ft increase cause an additional +4 Jump bonus when it brings my speed above 30ft? The wording of both the Acrobatics Skill and the Boots makes me think yes, but I was wondering about second opinions.

Boots:
These boots increase the wearer's base land speed by 10 feet. In addition to this striding ability (considered an enhancement bonus), these boots allow the wearer to make great leaps. She can jump with a +5 competence bonus on Acrobatics checks.


yes

Yes you would get both. The additional +5 is specifically listed as a competence bonus, if were merely from the improved movement speed it would read more like, "This increase to base land speed also grants a +5 bonus to Jump checks" or some such.


Kickassery. Thanks dudes.

It does. Depending on whether it alters your movement from 20 to 30 or from 30 to 40 this bonus will change, but the named bonus also will apply separately.
