Should a 60f.t speed monk be allowed to take 10 foot steps?

No.

But if you can get a hold of the magic item sparring dummy of the masters, it can grant you the ability to take a 10-foot step instead of 5.

Also, a DC 40 Tumble check allows you to take a 10-foot step.

Then there's the prestige class that lets you make two 5' steps per turn.

But no, a 5' swindle is simply designed to represent a little bit of legroom to make things work a bit nicer for everyone. Not something that your size or base speed affect and provide advantages for.

A better question might be:

"If you're much larger than Medium, should you be able to make a 10' step?"

After all, if you're colossal, 5' is far less significant than if you're Fine.

It's mostly for balance reasons, imagine always being able to make full attacks while your foes can only make 1 attack against you each round...:eek:

3.0 Oriental Adventures, so it is not exactly core.

Sparring Dummy of the Master is from the Arms and Equipment Guide, I believe you have to have a level of Monk to use it and will set you back 30,000 gold.

I don't believe it has. OA definitely hasn't although there was a dragon magazine with 3.5 updates but I don't think the skill use is mentioned. The rule may have been published in another 3.5 book but I don't think it has been.
