Miscellaneous1

A superbly carved ash-and-ebony broom shaped for stability and speed. Brass bands and polished bearings reduce drag. Nonmagical but expertly balanced for racing; favored by professional couriers and novice racers alike.

Provides +10 ft to base flying movement when ridden; specially carved for maneuverability.
Miscellaneous1

A compact brass turbine with a leather-throttle harness that augments an existing broom's thrust for short sprints. Runs on a replaceable steam/ether canister.

When activated (bonus action), grants +30 ft movement for 1 minute. Usable once per canister.
Miscellaneous3

A magically enchanted broom that functions like the classic Broom of Flying. It takes a rider, can carry a small passenger, and obeys basic commands.

Grants flight (60 ft) to rider, can carry up to 200 lb. Requires no activation beyond command. Can serve as a mount.

A racing broom enchanted to be lighter and more responsive. Treated with wind-shaping enchantments and gyro-stabilizers crafted by Gregory.

Grants flight (60 ft). While mounted, rider gains +1 to attack rolls and saving throws as the broom hums with steadying magic.

A legendary-level racing broom incorporating rare wards, clockwork boosters, and aerodynamic enchantments. Used by champion racers and nobles.

Grants flight. While mounted, rider's base flying speed is tripled; rider gains advantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks related to aerial maneuvers. Once per long rest, can activate a 'sprint' giving an extra action to Dash while airborne for 1 minute.
Miscellaneous2

A small brass canister charged with compressed steam/ether mixture used to power wind-assist modules and certain clockwork boosters. One canister = one module activation.

Powers one use of a wind-assist module; may be hazardous if punctured ( fire damage and lightning on a failed Dexterity save, DM's call).

A silvery varnish infused with feather-lift sigils. Applied to broom shafts to reduce drag and impart a slight buoyancy.

When applied and dried (30 minutes), grants +5 ft flight speed to that broom for 24 hours or until wiped off.
Miscellaneous2

Leather-framed goggles with adjustable lenses, foggers, and a minor lens-scrying enchantment to reduce motion blur and pick up signal flags.

Grants advantage on Perception checks involving distant or fast-moving objects while worn. Goggles resist fog and wind.

A contoured leather seat with brass grips and adjustable stirrups designed to reduce rider fatigue and improve control in sharp turns.

AC +1While mounted, grants +1 to rider's saving throws against being dismounted or knocked off.
Miscellaneous1

A kit of files, quick-oils, replacement bearings, brass rivets, and tiny gears. Designed for on-the-fly repairs between heats.

When used with an appropriate tool proficiency, grants bonus to checks to repair or tune a broom in under an hour.
Miscellaneous1

A palm-sized clockwork bird that scouts courses, checks wind currents, and carries messages; useful for pre-race reconnaissance.

Can fly up to 100 ft, uses tiny sensors to report wind patterns, and can relay short prerecorded messages. Lasts 8 hours before rewinding maintenance is needed.
Miscellaneous1

A shimmering vane etched with runes that trims airflow and channels minor planar breezes to increase lift. Gregory imports the delicate rune-etches from a planar-smith contact.

When affixed to a broom and attuned, increases flying speed by +20 ft and reduces turning difficulty. May attract planar attention when used near ley lines (DM discretion).
Potions1

A small glass phial containing a silvery liquid that, when consumed, functions like the Feather Fall spell on the drinker and up to five willing creatures within 30 ft.

Activates immediately upon consumption; lasts 1 minute.
Miscellaneous1

A small pouch with spare ball bearings, miniature brass rivets and leather washers for quick field repairs.

Shop Atmosphere

Gregory hums old sea-shanties while he polishes broom shafts and insists that a proper racing broom must have exactly two brass bands and one notch carved on the handle for luck. He writes ledger notes in fountain-ink scented with ozone, offers a free 'wind-read' (a 1-minute gust-check) to every customer, and will not sell certain experimental attachments to those he deems 'reckless'—he keeps a list called the Black Tail of names he forbids from using his Speed Brooms.
