[RPG] Can someone flying with winged boots/boots of flying carry someone

dnd-5eflightmagic-items

Can a person with winged boots carry another medium size creature, and if so, would it require any checks?

I found this info in the DMG, page 214:

Winged Boots

Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement

While you wear these boots, you have a flying speed equal to your walking speed. You can use the boots to fly for up to 4 hours, all at once or in several shorter flights, each one using a minimum of 1 minute from the duration. If you are flying when the duration expires, you descend at a rate of 30 feet per round until you land.

The boots regain 2 hours of flying capability for every 12 hours they aren't in use.

Best Answer

Since nothing about weight is mentioned and the boots give you flying speed equal to your walking speed, I would assume that the regular carrying capacity rules are in effect (page 176 of PHB). You can carry 15 times your strength (including your equipment etc), or push, drag or lift 30 times your own weight. If doing the latter and the thing you move is heavier than your carrying capacity, you will have your speed reduced to 5 feet.

It might feel a bit silly that winged boots are affected by your strength, but I think it's RAW.
