Slippers of Spider Climbing (2024)

When you're knocked out, you are subject to the unconscious condition. This states that you fall prone. My ruling as DM would be that you would then fall from the ceiling, especially since you are no longer able to actively use the slippers, and gravity is still a thing.

I'm sure it's been answered somewhat officially somewhere as well, but I'm not in a position to look that up right now.

What do you mean by "focus," and where does it say you need that?

I’m trying to pick random magic items to describe as daelkyr creations so I’m better at that if I ever get to run anEberron campaign. In this case, it’s a symbiont.

“Valaara, the Crawling Queen, hasbred these bizarre beetlesover the course of centuries, and has finally perfected its craft. Place the beetles atop your feet for the duration of attunement. They will chew and burrow down to your soles, from which their legs then protrude, as your feet rapidly heal. The beetles’ legs will protrude through any footwear. While the beetles are present,you can move up, down, and across vertical surfaces and upside down along ceilings, while leaving your hands free. You have a climbing speed equal to your walking speed. However, the beetlesdon't allow you to move this way on a slippery surface, such as one covered by ice or oil.

Symbiotic Nature. The beetles can’t be removed from you while you’re attuned to it, and you can’t voluntarily end your attunement to them. If you’re targeted by a spell that ends a curse, your attunement ends, and beetlescrawl from your skin all across your body until they’re out of your system”

Just asking, per the description above it does not state concentration or focus, so is it listed elsewhere and if so can you please provide the link.

Thank you

I like the idea of someone using these to walk up to the ceiling and sleep upside down like a bat. When you sleep you go unconscious so for that to work you would stick. My interpretation is that you dont need focus or consciously stick. You can stick and unstick at will just like taking steps each step up a wall would require you to unstick one of your feet and stick em back I dont think that would be a conscious/focus requiring activity

Just as an FYI, no one should do that. Spending more than a few minutes inverted is a good way to seriously hurt or kill yourself in extreme situations. The humanoid body was not designed like a bat's. Our circulatory systems will be seriously compromised. Prolonged inversion can cause blood vessels to rupture in the brain, your heart to fail or asphyxiation.

im having a hard time finding a cost on these does anyone know where i can find that?

DMG page 135 gives a chart on the value of magic items based on rarity. Slippers of Spider Climbing are Uncommon. So if you found someone selling these you could expect the cost to be between 101 and 500 gold pieces.
