A Monkey Belt is an item of waist wear which serves the practical function of keeping your pants on, and further grants its owner amazing powers and abilities of movement.

The magic of a Monkey Belt slowly floods the wearer's limbs, making them supernaturally strong, flexible, and dextrous, imparting perfect balance and the ability to move in frankly astonishing ways. The first effect is the ability of the wearer to not only land on their feet after a fall, but the uncanny strength and flexibility to absorb the shock of a fall and use it to make incredible leaps and bounds. Powerful versions of a Monkey Belt allow the wearer to throw themselves off the peak of a high tower, land on their feet without harm, and without a pause bound back up the same tower, or to any other spot that the GM rules is accessible to them.

Equally amazing is how their supernatural grip and the enhanced flexibility of all their limbs allows them to bound and leap through the branches in a forest, the rigging of a ship, laundry lines and flagpoles on a crowded street, from stalactite to stalagmite in a rugged cave, and in many other circumstances with incredible speed.

Lastly, they can climb with supernatural ease and speed, scampering up seemingly unassailable walls without apparent effort.

This combination of powers is amazing indeed, but the wearer of a Monkey Belt does suffer a price. Their amazing powers lends their gait a certain rolling ease, a capering swagger, which is unconscious on their part, yet unmistakable to an observer. Unless the wearer makes a successful Disguise skill roll against a Challenging DC for the CR of the observer, any observer can note that they are able to leap and bound in amazing fashion. It is left to the GM to adjudicate how this can make life interesting for the wearer.

A Monkey Belt +4 grants an attuned wearer a Brachiation speed of 60 feet, a Lesser Climb speed of 40 feet, and the effects of a Bouncy Body (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell) twice per day, at a Caster Level of 14.

The owner of this magic item must wear it continuously for 24 hours to attune it to their aura, and until that time has passed, it provides no benefits to the wearer.
