[Skies] Item - Thunderstompers

Added 2023-02-06 15:00:04 +0000 UTC

Last of the storm-based items for this theme! This month is sky-themed, so I wanted to make sure they're not entirely dominated by storms. Funnily enough, storms actually belong to three themes already (skies, seas, and elementals). Perhaps we can do those again another month.

Embedded with a piece of aethrum, these boots channel bursts of thunder to allow extended leaps via impressively loud shockwaves. Unfortunately, the boots come with the side effect of being very loud, though this is not quite a problem on the storm-chasing sky city of Thunderstad.

Thunderstompers
Wondrous item, rare

While wearing these boots, your footsteps are 5 times louder than normal, imposing disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks you make to move quietly. However, their presence grants you advantage on Strength or Charisma (Intimidation) checks you make to make an impression or make an entrance.

Crashing Leap. While you wear these boots, you can use a bonus action to stomp on a suitable surface, creating a burst of thunder audible up to 100 feet away. Each hostile creature within 10 feet of you must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 2d8 thunder damage. You can then immediately leap up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see without expending your movement or up to 60 feet instead if there is a thunderstorm overhead, provided you are not carrying weight that exceeds your capacity. This property can be used twice, and can't be used again until the next dawn.
