A pair of '''stomping boots''' is a set of [[magical item|magical]] [[boots]] that appear in ''[[SpliceHack]]'' and ''[[Hack'EM]]''.<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
When worn, stomping boots provide 1 AC and allow the wearer to deal [[instakill]]s to [[tiny]] (or very small) monsters. This can be very useful against the [[team a]] variety that pose a high risk to early characters. [[Soldier ant]]s, [[locust]]s, [[spark bug]]s, [[arc bug]]s, and [[lightning bug]]s, and [[leprechauns]] can all be stomped out quickly and efficiently with these boots.<br />
<br />
On each stomp, you will also wake up nearby monsters - so this may be a consideration if being stealthy is of importance.<br />
<br />
===Identification===<br />
Stomping boots are trivial to identify. If you don't have [[stealth]] and are not [[flying]] or [[levitating]], you will [[autoidentify]] them as soon as you wear them, "You begin stomping around very loudly."<br />
<br />
Even if you don't auto-identify on wear, you will when stomping on a tiny monster (eg "You stomp on the grid bug!").<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Stomping boots first appear in [[SpliceHack]].<br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
===Hack'EM===<br />
Stomping boots also have a 1 in 4 chance of insta-killing [[small]] monsters, in addition to the guaranteed instakill of tiny monsters.<br />
<br />
In [[Hack'EM]], tiny monsters make up about 7% of the monster population, while small monsters make up roughly 17%. Having stomping boots will give you an extremely effective solution against almost 25% of the monsters you will encounter in the dungeon.<br />
