The extra feet slot doesn't grant the player an advantage in the way of gaining additional {{AV}}[[AV]] and {{DV}}[[DV]] from wearing extra armor, as these values as will be averaged across both pairs of feet, effectively halving them. This means the player will need to wear two pairs of the same boots to gain the same {{AV}}AV and {{DV}}DV as normal. This property does not apply to other bonuses granted by footwear, such as the Movement Speed granted by wearing {{favilink|Bounding boots}}. | The extra feet slot doesn't grant the player an advantage in the way of gaining additional {{AV}}[[AV]] and {{DV}}[[DV]] from wearing extra armor, as these values as will be averaged across both pairs of feet, effectively halving them.

The total number of movements a creature can make per turn is proportional to their [[movement speed]] multiplied by their [[quickness]]. As a result, Multiple Legs is extremely effective alongside mutations providing a quickness bonus, such as {{favilink|Adrenal Control}}, {{favilink|Heightened Quickness}}, and {{favilink|Photosynthetic Skin}}. In addition, since [[sprinting]] doubles the number of movements you can make per turn, Multiple Legs can also be effective when used alongside mutations and skills that benefit [[Sprint]], such as {{favilink|Triple-Jointed}}, {{favilink|Two-Hearted}}, {{favilink|Wings}}, [[Conatus]], and [[Longstrider]]. | |||
Since the benefits of movement speed, quickness, and sprinting stack ''multiplicatively'' -- not additively -- creatures can make many movements per turn with a little bit of investment. For instance: | |||
* With Multiple Legs and Heightened Quickness both at Level 1, creatures move 2.76 times as quickly while sprinting. | |||
* With Multiple Legs and Heightened Quickness both at Level 5, creatures move 4.92 times as quickly while sprinting. | |||
* With Multiple Legs and Heightened Quickness both at Level 10, creatures move 7.98 times as quickly while sprinting. | |||
