In the Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) fantasy role-playing game, Quicksilver Boots are a type of magical item that can be used to increase the speed of the character wearing them. After attuning to the boots, the wearer’s natural speed is increased.
Additionally, the boots generate electricity as you run. This allows characters to strike enemies with extra lightning damage after moving at least 30 feet.

Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement)
While you wear these boots, you add 10 feet to your normal walking speed. In addition, if you move at least 30 feet before hitting a creature with a melee attack, you can add 1d6 lightning damage to that attack.
In Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition (D&D 5e), having super speed can provide a character with a variety of benefits and advantages in combat and other situations. Some of the benefits of extra speed might include:
- Increased mobility: A character with super speed can move more quickly and easily around the battlefield, making it easier to dodge attacks, pursue enemies, or reach objectives.
- Improved combat effectiveness: Extra speed can allow a character to strike faster and more frequently than slower opponents, potentially giving them an advantage in combat.
- Enhanced escape ability: A character with super speed can more easily flee from danger or escape from pursuit.
- Greater versatility: Super speed can allow a character to perform a wider range of tasks and actions, such as running errands, delivering messages, or completing objectives more quickly.
