It’s worth reading so you don’t suddenly stand completely naked
What kind of boots are these? Wearing the “Boots of Very Fast Blinking” allows you to use the spell “Mist Step” as a bonus action. This enables you to teleport almost anywhere in your field of vision (9m), allowing you, for example, to gain distance from enemies as a ranged fighter when they get too close. It is a very powerful spell.
Players noted on Reddit that the character remains completely naked after the spell “Mist Step,” which came as quite a surprise. However, if you look closely, the description of the mysterious boots clearly reveals this effect: “You can cast the spell Mist Step, but you leave all your clothes behind when teleporting.”
