New NPC Roaming Areas
We created iNPC roaming areas for the schools that we accept NPCs from. This is a place for players to develop their iNPC and the relationships that they might have. The main intention of us making these is so that they can form IC relationships among their inpcs instead of having to headcanon and only interact during Hogwarts visits.
Basic Expectations:
1. Do not name professors or staff, we only have the basic lore for these schools. Please do not invent your own.
2. You need to have an iNPC from that school and play only as that NPC
3. These sites adhere to all rules regarding content and word count as the rest of the community.
4. Your player character goes to Hogwarts. They did not travel to visit here unless there is a very specific site run event involving a visit.
5. Before you write in this setting, we urge you to read up on the lore first.

Information on Travel in the Magical World
We frequently get questions on travel in the magical world. In some ways travel is more convenient for wizards. It is more comfortable, faster and of course "cooler." However, there are some modes of travel that take longer than others, there are some up-sides and some down sides to travel of course.

We Have Improved the Part-Goblin Experience.
As part of the year-1 experience for part goblins they earn a little extra money each day. Money that players with a goblin heritage are likely enjoying considering this recent release. We have also opened up a shop for Goblins for when they reach the 5th year and are able to make armors. They are able to make and gift armors to other players (refer to the goblin system for details). To make this transaction tangible, there are new items in the goblin area accessible to year 5 and above. These items cost only 1 knut because I needed to give them -a- price.

We have added 3 brooms to the shops recently and they now have stats:
There is something about ambition, how it not only propels you but also defines you.
Blatchin' Birch
Cost: 18 galleons
Description: Pretty to look at, slim in the trunk and delicate in the branches, it seems like it has just been plucked from the earth. It tends to be generous with its splinters though.
Effect: Able to carry multiple people at one time when the catch ability is used. Can catch multiple people in a single round also (up to 2).
Autumn Cruise
Cost: 71 galleons
Description: There's nothing that hits as heavy as old oak. This bulky oak tree with leaves that seem stuck in autumn, often leaves a sparse path of fiery hued leaves in its wake but the canopy always appears magically full. A fork of branches serves as an oversized steering handle while a small seat has been hollowed out in the trunk.
Prerequisites: This is considered a [t]twink[/u] broom.
Stats: +2 to all stats besides evasion.
Effect: This broom is intended to carry multiple people. When someone uses the catch option to rescue a falling teammate, they can catch one additional teammate in a given round. This broom can carry up to four users. If the user has the ability Catch then a user can catch an indefinite number of teammates in a round, but for each person they catch after the first there is a stacking 20% auto-failure chance. Returning users to their broom is a free action for the owner of the broom, but those being returned to their broom need to use their action getting to their broom. Only one person can be returned to their broom as a free action (for the owner) per round, they can use their action to return a second user however.
Pine Chopper
Cost: 213
Description: This slender Scots Pine would make a fine Christmas Tree but this tree was modified with purpose. A metallic framed seat complete with windshield and stirrups has been added at the back serving as the tree's counterweight. This sturdy, reliable tree will definitely get the job done.
Prerequisite: 6th year or later
Stats: +3 to all stats
Ability: Immune to broken broomshaft.

Duelling Update
In order to include the Wandmaker ability in the duelling system, the duelling moderator team has made a few small changes:For your convenience, the changes have been included below:
- Wandmaker is now included in the Duelling Guide to Races and Abilities with explanations as to how each core works in our system.
- All d10 rolls (for auto-hit/-miss/-dodge and similar) have been changed to d20 rolls to make 5% chances from Wandmaker possible.
- Ferula is now in the list of duelling spells to stop possible bleeding effects.
- The duelling spell list now includes categories such as Charm, Transfiguration, Jinx, Hex, or Curse, for each spell, to accommodate abilities that focus on one spell category. It now also specifies for each spell if it is targeted (has to go through the Targeting & Accuracy phase) or non-targeted (automatically takes effect).
Wandmaker: Your wand is special and gives you an ability that depends on its core.
• The wand only has an effect when it is being used. This means it will not go into effect if the caster is either disarmed or using Wandless Magic.
• The specific effects depend on the wand's core:
Reducio1. Dragon Heartstring: +3 AP, 5% Rebound Chance
• Wand owner receives +3 on AP. This buff is applied before other possible buffs or debuffs.
• When casting a targeted spell (see Targeting and Accuracy), after a successful Wisdom Check and potential Auto-Fail Checks, another d20 is rolled. If the result is 20, the spell rebounds on the caster, who then takes the full effect.
• This rebound chance cannot be prevented by the Perfectionist ability.
• In case of Spell Spread being used with this wand, the entire spell would rebound before it spreads. In case of Auto-split spells, the Rebound roll occurs before the Auto-Split roll.2. Phoenix Feather: +2 Acc on spells, 10% chance of casting a random additional spell at your target
• Wand owner receives +2 Accuracy on spells
• After a successful Wisdom Check and potential Auto-Fail Checks, an additional d20 is rolled. If the result is 19 or 20, a random Duelling spell is selected from the caster's Trunk. This spell will target the same player who the caster was aiming at with their first spell (even if either of the two are spells that do not require Acc/Eva rolls).
• The second spell is an auto-success (does not require a Wisdom or Auto-Fail Check), but will have to go through the Targeting and Accuracy phase independent of the first spell.
• In case the caster is affected by Alluring, the second spell is also redirected towards the new target.
• In case the first spell does not have a target (or more than one target), the second spell targets a random player apart from the caster (in addition to the original target, if applicable).
• If the caster uses Spell Spread, only the primary cast (not the spread) has the chance of an additional spell being cast.3. Unicorn Tail Hair: -2 crit fail range, 30% chance that dark spells rebound on the caster.
• The caster's crit fail range is reduced by 2.
• For any Jinx, Hex, or Curse (refer to our Spell List), after a successful Wisdom Check and potential Auto-Fail Checks, another d20 is rolled. If the result is 15-20, the spell rebounds on the caster, who then takes the full effect.
• This rebound chance cannot be prevented by the Perfectionist ability.4. Veela Hair: This wand is more powerful against one selected target (+2 Acc, +20% damage) and less powerful against everyone else (-2 Acc, -20% damage).
• When sending in their first action, the wand owner can select one person in the duel to be the grudge target. For the duration of the duel, they will receive +2 Accuracy and +20% damage for any spells intended to target the grudge target, and -2 Accuracy and -20% damage for any spells intended to target anyone else.
• When influenced by Alluring, the intended target changes, so the damage and Accuracy will depend on the new target. In case of critical miss or critical failure, the intended target stays the same, so the damage and Accuracy will depend on the original target.
• If the wand owner does not define a grudge target, it will be set to the first person the wand owner defines as the target of a damaging or debuffing spell.5. Kneazle Whisker: Cannot critically fail spells intended to aid allies.
• Support or Utility spells intended to help the wand owner's ally cannot critically fail.
• The wand owner does not count as their own ally.6. Dittany Stalk: +10% Healing, buffs are stronger (+1)
• This wand makes healing spells 10% stronger. This stacks additively with other percentile healing buffs such as from Healing Sage.
• Example: Reparifors cast with 10 AP, Healing Sage, and the Dittany Stalk core would heal by 50 + 5 x 10 + (30% + 10%) = 100 + (30 + 10) = 140 HP.
• For any buffing spells cast with this wand, the buff gets stronger by 1 stat point.
• Example: Serenate would give +2 +1 = +3 to AP for its duration.7. Kelpie Hair Jinxes +1 crit success and crit failure range and +10% damage
• Jinxes (refer to our Duelling Spell List) cast with this wand have +1 chance to critically fail and succeed. They also do 10% more damage (applied to spell damage and not the effects damage).
• This stacks additively with the reduced damage from Terrible Presence, so if someone casts a jinx with this wand while affected by Terrible Presence, the buff and debuff would cancel each other out.8. Thestral Tail Hair
• Not applicable.9. Coral: Advantage on Counter Spells
• When casting a Counter spell (refer to our Duelling Spell List), two Wisdom Checks will be performed, and the higher one will be used for the spell.
• Some spells are only Counter spells in some cases (such as Ventus directed at Nebulus, Flipendo directed at Bullarum Immortalem, or similar). For these spells, the second Wisdom Check is performed only when used as a Counter (so when targeting an effect), and not when used to attack a player.10. Thunderbird Tail Feather: +2 AP, Eva, Acc while below 30% max health
• Once the wand owner drops below 30% of their maximum HP, they gain +2 on their Evasion, Arcane Power, and Accuracy rolls.
• If the wand owner is healed above this threshold, they lose these boni.
• The change goes into effect the round after they fell below/were healed to or above their 30% health.
• Example: A player has 600 HP. When they take enough damage to be at 179 or less HP, they gain +2 Eva, AP, Acc starting from the next round. When they have 180 or more HP, these boni do not apply.11. WampusHair: 5% Auto-Fail chance for opponents
• Opponents get an Auto-Fail chance before their Wisdom Check to see whether they auto-failed to cast the spell.
• A d20 is rolled, and the spell fails if it ends on a 20.
• This stacks additively with other Auto-Fail chances (e.g. from Unsettling Aura), except for Auto-Fail Counters.
• Example: If someone is affected by Unsettling Aura and this wand, they have a 15% Auto-Fail chance. A d20 would be rolled and the spell fails on 18-20.
• This does not stack if multiple Wampus12. White River Monster Spine: +1 Acc, -2 WDC for all Charms
• When casting a Charm (see Duelling Spells) with this wand, the spell's WDC is decreased by 2 and the caster receives +1 on their Accuracy roll.13. Rougarou Hair: 10% bleeding effect from damage done with dark spells, additional target on crit success dark spells, -10% damage with non-dark spells
• When a Jinx, Hex, or Curse performed with this wand does damage, the target will suffer 10% of this damage as bleeding damage for the next 4 rounds.
• If the target is hit by another Jinx, Hex, or Curse from a Rougarou Hair wand during that duration, the bleeding effect is replaced by the new one.
• The bleeding effect can be countered by Ferula.
• On critical success cast of a Jinx, Hex, or Curse, the user can target a second, additional player. This additional target has to be defined when sending in their actions.
• All spells performed with this wand except Jinxes, Hexes, or Curses do 10% less damage. This stacks additively with other effects that make spells do less damage (e.g. Terrible Presence).14. Horned Serpent Horn: 5% auto-dodge chance
• When a spell was successfully cast at the wand owner, a 1d20 roll is performed prior to Accuracy vs Evasion roll to determine whether the spell will be auto-dodged (roll 20). The Accuracy vs Evasion roll will not be needed in case of success.
• This stacks additively with other auto-dodge chances but cannot break the 20% cap on auto-dodge. See Auto-Dodge.15. Snallygaster Heartstring: +1 Acc when ally's health is low
• When an ally is at < 50% of their maximum HP, the wand owner gains a stacking +1 to their Accuracy for spells cast with the wand.
• When one such ally is healed back to 50% or more of their maximum HP, the +1 buff is lost.
• You do not count as your own ally. Once you define someone as the target of a spell detrimental to them, they cannot count as your ally.
• Stacks to a maximum of +5 accuracy. (Mostly relevant for unofficial duels.)16. Jackalope Antler: Heal others up to 10% over their maximum HP
• Healing spells cast with this wand can heal the target to 10% over their natural maximum HP.
• If someone is already at 110% of their maximum HP (e.g. due to Paragon of Health), the wand cannot heal them further than this, but can heal them back up to 110% after they have taken damage.17. Basilisk Horn: +1 Acc, +10% damage to non-purebloods, cannot buff, heal, or support a non-pureblood if wielded by a pureblood; Hexes and Curses cannot critically fail if wielded by a non-pureblood.
If wand holder is a pureblood:
• This wand has +1 accuracy and does 10% more damage (if the spell does damage) to wizards that are not purebloods (applied to spell damage and not the effects damage).
• This stacks additively with the reduced damage from Terrible Presence, so if this buff applies and the caster is affected by Terrible Presence, the buff and debuff would cancel each other out.
• This wand cannot heal, be used to buff or cast a counter-spell that favors a non-pureblood.
• When influenced by Alluring, the intended target changes, so the damage and Accuracy will depend on the new target. In case of critical miss or critical failure, the intended target stays the same, so the damage will depend on the original target. Auto-splits are not intentional so will not profit from the Accuracy or damage buff.
If wand holder is not a pureblood:
• Hexes and Curses cast with this wand cannot critically fail (see Duelling Spells).18. Curupira Hair: 10% spell redirection chance, 10% auto-hit, +1 critical success and failure range
• After a successful Wisdom Check for a spell cast with this wand, there is a 10% (1d20, success on 19-20) chance that the wand will change target to a random duellist, excluding the original target and the caster. This is performed after potential Alluring rolls.
• When a spell is successfully cast with this wand, a 1d20 roll is performed prior to Accuracy vs Evasion roll to determine whether the spell auto-hits (roll 19-20). The Accuracy vs Evasion roll will not be needed in case of success.
• This stacks additively with other auto-hit chances but cannot break the 20% cap on auto-hit. See Auto-Hit
• Spells performed with this wand have +1 critical success range and +1 critical failure range.19. Troll Whisker +1 Acc, +2 Eva after a Curse is cast
• When a Curse (see Duelling Spells is cast in the duel, the owner of this wand gains +1 to their accuracy and +2 to their evasion for the next 3 rounds.
• If another Curse is cast in the meantime, the duration is replaced with the new one.
Bandaging Charm • Ferula • [Support] • WDC 10 [NEW!]
Tags: Non-Targeted, Charm, Transfiguration, Healing

Minor Clarifications to Animagi
It has become a topic of interest/discussion with some players regarding if Animagi can have offspring with other animals and if someone is an avian animagi if they can lay eggs. We added an addendum to the Animagus ability concerning this topic: [Link]
Becoming an animagus changes your character's form to that of an animal, however you are still you. Those changes are temporary as are your genes. You do not have the genetic material necessary to create a viable offspring with a like animal. In addition, your character has a conscious, human mind with human awareness, unlike an animal. The act of having sex with an animal regardless of your character's form at the time would be considered beastiality and not accepted here in this community as it breaks site rating. As for undergoing the biological processes of an animal, you would not undergo things like molting or laying eggs, your hair and skin would shed as normal, your form would not outgrow your crab shell when in animagi form and you would ovulate as normal if you are a bird so you would not lay eggs. As for how casually this is known (for those who want those sorts of roleplays), that is up to you and those you roleplay with.

Changes to Cup Rewards
In line with the changes that we have made to the daily wage, the inherent 'value' of the monthly rewards has diminished. This would be relative to a sort of inflation, a reward of 5 galleons was in the past something that represented 85 days of dutiful scholarship acquisition for a first year and was very valued. For a 5th year however, this was 8.5 days and while still valued not nearly as much considering the effort involved in earning those 17 points and being the winning house. So there was some math involved with this as we looked to determine how to make this reward "worthwhile" to players in light of this economic change. Essentially, we needed to raise the amount given in terms of solid galleons, increase the number of frog cards given and take this opportunity to better equalize the rewards.

Hogwarts participates in Top RP Websites, a website that compiles votes monthly to show prospective players what communities are active and enjoyed by their members. This is a common source of new players. In addition, players have other ways of earning house points such as Errands, Winning Quidditch Matches, Winning Duelling Matches, Winning Broom Races, and homework. Rewards change every month and they are pre-set for each month.
How to Read the Rewards:
The rewards for a given month's house cup will be given the month after it is earned. So for example if you won the August House Cup, that is declared on September 1 so you would be getting your reward for winning the August Cup in September.
Can I Swap My Reward Out for Something Else?
The rewards are pre-set. That means that you will be getting the reward already pre-determined. So if you are uninterested in a reward (such as organizing a ball) then it is suggested that you save your assignments for a month that you would prefer to win. You will be entering each month with the knowledge of what you will earn and what you can earn if you choose to wait for another month.

Hogwarts participates in Top RP Websites, a website that compiles votes monthly to show prospective players what communities are active and enjoyed by their members. This is a common source of new players. In addition, players have other ways of earning house points such as Errands, Winning Quidditch Matches, Winning Duelling Matches, Winning Broom Races, and homework. Rewards change every month and they are pre-set for each month.
How to Read the Rewards:
The rewards for a given month's house cup will be given the month after it is earned. So for example if you won the August House Cup, that is declared on September 1 so you would be getting your reward for winning the August Cup in September.
Can I Swap My Reward Out for Something Else?
The rewards are pre-set. That means that you will be getting the reward already pre-determined. So if you are uninterested in a reward (such as organizing a ball) then it is suggested that you save your assignments for a month that you would prefer to win. You will be entering each month with the knowledge of what you will earn and what you can earn if you choose to wait for another month.

Changes to Broom Costs
In line with the changes that we have made to the daily wage and monthly cup winners, brooms are inconsistent with this change in the economy. The brooms were never well adjusted to the site economy but previously we had no power over broom costs. This is not a symptom of inflation in spite of the fact that there are notable increases in cost, the time it would take to earn these brooms at the appropriate year level would be significantly decreased. Late game brooms will see a reduction in cost. This is to accommodate for the lower earning cap as well as the fact that the amount of time again required to earn enough to afford the broom would not have been considerate.
Brooms are rebalanced in terms of price by Tier. Meaning a Tier I Broom (or a broom that a year 1 player might purchase) would be within a specified range. A higher tier broom for higher years would be more expensive of course but there will be a metric for about how long this would take that is based on the players (now consistent) wage.

New Broom Prices
In Short:
** The changes to year 2 brooms is similarly improved. A year 2 student earned 2 sickles per day previously and with a broom in the mid 20-galleons in cost is still 170'ish days in comparison to 60 days.
** The changes to year 3 brooms continues this trend. Players at this point make 5 sickles per day. At 28-30 galleons is 98.6 days as a median. This is set at a median of 90 days so a slight improvement.
** The changes to year 4 brooms is where there is a noted increase in time. 7 sickles per day is what a year 4 player would earn and the cost of these brooms was between 37-43 with a median of 40. It would take 97 days for a year 4 to purchase this broom. It does take longer now, This persists with the twink broom also. At 50 galleons for the broom and 60 for the twink, the shooting star was honestly a budget best choice and almost everyone has one because of it.
** However things start to reverse immediately after year 5. in year 6 the brooms are actually CHEAPER in spite if higher earnings. Indeed, players were intended to make more at year 6, 1 galleon specifically per day.
** The changes to year 5 brooms w also see an increase in investment to earn. At 213 days to 370 invested, the median here is 270 and a low of 216 which is close and a high of 324 compared to the 3670 previously we are in line if not lower.
** The twink year 6 firebolt has seen a drastic price reduction however, from 575 days of investment as a year 6 to 378 which is still very high but nowhere near as high as it was.
** The oakshaft, the formerly most expensive broom on the site is brought down from 750 galleons to 202 galleons 16 sickles. Even with higher wages the oakshaft would have taken a year 1 player earing 1 galleon 8 sickles per day 510 days. As a player making 10 sickles per day this is reduced to 345 days.
End game items still require months of effort but brooms are a progressive purchase. Nobody needs to save for a year straight for that Oakshaft, they can instead buy a different broom and let it grow with them. In addition, there are additional ways of making money to consider such as errands and top house rewards. Consider that when you are attempting to save up for a broom, one of the biggest purchases you will make on this site.

Stats: +1 accuracy, +1 strength, +1 stamina
Cleansweep 6
Cost: 16 Galleons

Stats: +2 accuracy

Stats: + 2 wisdom, +2 strength, + 1 evasion
Nimbus 1500
Cost: 19 Galleons
Description: Efficient racing broom although slower nowadays.
Effect: In the role of Chaser when you attempt to catch a passed Quaffle (such as when the Keeper has possession of the Quaffle and passes it to a teammate) you have advantage (meaning that it is rolled twice and you keep the better option) on attempts to catch if the opponent team attempts to intercept.
In the role of Keeper when you attempt to block your goal, if your opponent somehow has advantage on attempting to score a goal, that is negated (they only have their normal single roll against you).
In the role of Seeker you when you have found the snitch, if someone attempts to use Alley Oop to help you find the snitch, you get three rolls instead of 2, with the second-lowest roll being used instead of the lowest. However, with this broom you do not gain the +1 chance to grab the snitch for rounds that the Alley Oop is used. To clarify, each round someone attempts to grab a snitch they get a +1 to the attempt and this stacks. There is no bonus (or stack from this round's attempt to grab) to grabbing the snitch.
In the role of Beater, if you hit an opponent with a bludger the bludger will then ricochet off that user and target a second opponent of choice (must be declared, if not declared the target will be random and can be an ally but not yourself).
Blatchin' Birch
Cost: 18 galleons
Description: Pretty to look at, slim in the trunk and delicate in the branches, it seems like it has just been plucked from the earth. It tends to be generous with its splinters though.
Effect: Able to carry multiple people at one time when the catch ability is used. Can catch multiple people in a single round also (up to 2).
Comet 260
Cost: 19 Galleons
Description: A popular model in the late 80's, still efficient today.
Stats: +1 accuracy
Effect: You take 10% less damage from all attacks that successfully hit you.
Nimbus 1700
Cost: 22 Galleons
Prerequisite: 2nd year or later.
Description: Fast and tough racing broom.
Stats: +2 accuracy, +1 evasion, +1 wisdom, +1 strength
Swiftstick
Cost: 23 Galleons
Description: Created by Ellerby and Spudmore in 1952, it is fast but not so much hardy.
Prerequisite: 2nd year or later.
Stats: +2 strength, +2 evasion, +2 wisdom
Tinderblast
Cost: 25 Galleons
Description: Racing broom made by Ellerby and Spudmore in 1940 ; very resistant but rather slow.
Prerequisite: 2nd year or later.
Effect: In the role of Beater, if an ALLY dodges a bludger during the round, there is a 20% chance that you catch that bludger with your bat and you send it at a RANDOM enemy target.
Note: For the rules lawyers out there: you are not considered your own ally.
In the role of Seeker, if an opponent attempts to Bludger or Blatch you, there is a 20% chance that you veer out of the way the last second and another enemy player at RANDOM is targeted instead.
Note: The new target still gets their normal dodge attempt. This is not considered to be an auto-dodge, in fact this roll is done before any accuracy rolls are done.
In the role of Keeper a critical success on an attempt to block a goal not only means that the Keeper caught the quaffle but they have also successfully passed the quaffle (without a chance of interception) to an allied target of their choice. A critical failure in this case cannot happen for a Keeper, they get to re-roll the attempt to block.
Note: Critical failure and critical success chances can be expanded with certain abilities and skills.
In the role of Chaser, as a free action if the user of this broom is successful in the quafflegrab they can as a free action pass the Quaffle to another user in an attempt to score. There is a chance of the quaffle being intercepted, however due to the fact that the user is "so fast" with the quaffle this would be considered "surprising" and the attempt to score would be done at +3 accuracy by the player it was passed to in an attempt to score.
Note: The attempt to score would be an automatic attempt by the user that catches the passed quaffle.
Cleansweep 1
Cost: 28 Galleons
Description: Available on the market in 1926, this Cleansweep has gained great intrinsic value as an antique broom.
Prerequisite: 3rd year or later
Stats: +2 accuracy, +2 wisdom
Effect: In the role of Seeker, when using the search action if you critically fail on your search you get a re-roll in an attempt to find the snitch. In an attempt to grab the snitch, if you critically fail on your attempt to grab the snitch you get to re-roll your attempt to grab the snitch.
Cleansweep 7
Cost: 28 Galleons
Description: Quality broomstick and Nimbus 2000's competitor in the 90's.
Prerequisite: 3rd year or later
Stats: +2 accuracy, +2 strength
Effect: In the role of Chaser, if you have a contested quaffle grab and a contested strength roll between yourself and another user is in progress, unless they have the same broom, you would be the victor of the contested quaffle grab. In addition, rounds where you are successfully carrying the quaffle in an attempt to score, you only take half-damage from bludgers and blatching attempts.
In the role of Beater, if you critically hit with a bludger, instead of doing double-damage you do 2.5x damage. If you critically fail with your bludger attempt to hit, rather than having your bludger randomly target another user (including yourself or an ally) the bludger cannot target you on a critical fail (but it can still target your allies). On a retarget, there is a random roll for target and then a fresh accuracy roll.
Twigger 90
Cost: 28 Galleons
Description: Ideal for travels, it is equipped with an alarm whistle and a flying assistance system.
Prerequisite: 3rd year or later.
Stats: +2 accuracy, +2 evasion
Effect: In the role of Keeper, if the Keeper effectively blocks an attempt to score rather than obtain possession of the quaffle they can kick the quaffle at the user who attempted to score. This must be declared at the time actions are submitted. This would have damage like a bludger using an accuracy roll to hit and the user's strength score to determine the amount of damage done. If the quaffle hits or misses the target, a quafflegrab the next round would be necessary to determine which team has possession of the quaffle again.
Bluebottle
Cost: 30 Galleons
Description: Family-friendly broom : very reliable and equipped with an anti-theft device. Rather slow.
Prerequisite: 3rd year or later.
Stats: +2 to two separate stats of choice. Must be declared at the start of the game.
Effect: This broom is intended to carry multiple people. When someone uses the catch option to rescue a falling teammate, they can catch one additional teammate in a given round. If the user has the ability Catch then a user can catch an indefinite number of teammates in a round, but for each person they catch after the first there is a stacking 20% auto-failure chance.
Nimbus 2000
Cost: 37
Description: Very famous in the 90's, this broom is renown for its speed.
Prerequisite: 4th year or later.
Stats: +2 to three separate stats of choice. Must be declared at the start of the game.

Prerequisite: 4th year or later.
Stats: +3 to two separate stats of choice. Must be declared at the start of the game.
Effect: Counters the ability Foulplay.

+1 critical chance.
May attach a compass.

Yajirushi
Cost: 238
Description: Japanese team's broom during the 2014 World Cup.
Prerequisite: 6th year or later.
Stats: +3 to all stats.
Effect: Special ActionMay attach a compassNinjutsu. The user is able to move so quickly and so skillfully, using their speed and deceptive abilities at their highest possible degree. The action done by this player would not be posted on the public mod until a round after it has happened. For example, if a Chaser caught a falling ally in round 2, all the mod would say is that the user "did something" and that you saw the other user fall. It would not be until the next round moderation that the public would see that the user was caught.
Note: a note would be lest for the team regarding the action and its relative success in the locker room.
An exception to this is if a user is attacked with a bludger or blatched by a user on one of these brooms, as it is necessary to know if they are in play or not the player would know they were knocked off the broom but not why or how.
Another exception to this is the location of the quaffle. If the quaffle is in one team or another's hands or if someone has scored with the quaffle.
Will this hide public knowledge that the snitch has been found for one round? YES.
If multiple beaters have these brooms, will players know who knocked them off their broom? Not until the next round.
Will users know who has the quaffle in the mod? Yes, they would need to know where the quaffle is for game play mechanics.
If you have a question regarding what would be recorded and how regarding this, please ask.

Firebolt
Cost: 575
Description: The greatest broom available on the market : unmatched in terms of speed as well as maneuverability.
Prerequisite: This is a twink broom, meaning that you have means of earning more money or someone with disposable income has likely given this to you if you are before your 7th year.
Stats: +4 to a single stat of choice. Must be declared at the start of the game.
Ability: May pick any two of the following skills. They must be declared at the start of the game.
In the role of Chaser when you attempt to catch a passed Quaffle (such as when the Keeper has possession of the Quaffle and passes it to a teammate) you have advantage (meaning that it is rolled twice and you keep the better option) on attempts to catch if the opponent team attempts to intercept.In the role of Keeper when you attempt to block your goal, if your opponent somehow has advantage on attempting to score a goal, that is negated (they only have their normal single roll against you).In the role of Seeker you when you have found the snitch, if someone attempts to use Alley Oop to help you find the snitch, you get three rolls instead of 2. However, with this broom you do not gain the +1 chance to grab the snitch for rounds that the Alley Oop is used. To clarify, each round someone attempts to grab a snitch they get a +1 to the attempt and this stacks. There is no bonus (or stack from this round's attempt to grab) to grabbing the snitch.In the role of Beater, if you hit an opponent with a bludger the bludger will then ricochet off that user and target a second opponent of choice (must be declared, if not declared the target will be random and can be an ally but not yourself).In the role of Beater, if an ALLY dodges a bludger during the round, there is a 20% chance that you catch that bludger with your bat and you send it at a RANDOM enemy target.
Note: For the rules lawyers out there: you are not considered your own ally.In the role of Seeker, if an opponent attempts to Bludger or Blatch you, there is a 20% chance that you veer out of the way the last second and another enemy player at RANDOM is targeted instead.
Note: The new target still gets their normal dodge attempt. This is not considered to be an auto-dodge, in fact this roll is done before any accuracy rolls are done.In the role of Keeper a critical success on an attempt to block a goal not only means that the Keeper caught the quaffle but they have also successfully passed the quaffle (without a chance of interception) to an allied target of their choice. A critical failure in this case cannot happen for a Keeper, they get to re-roll the attempt to block.
Note: Critical failure and critical success chances can be expanded with certain abilities and skills.In the role of Chaser, as a free action if the user of this broom is successful in the quafflegrab they can as a free action pass the Quaffle to another user in an attempt to score. There is a chance of the quaffle being intercepted, however due to the fact that the user is "so fast" with the quaffle this would be considered "surprising" and the attempt to score would be done at +3 accuracy by the player it was passed to in an attempt to score.
Note: The attempt to score would be an automatic attempt by the user that catches the passed quaffle.In the role of Seeker, when using the search action if you critically fail on your search you get a re-roll in an attempt to find the snitch. In an attempt to grab the snitch, if you critically fail on your attempt to grab the snitch you get to re-roll your attempt to grab the snitch.In the role of Chaser, if you have a contested quaffle grab and a contested strength roll between yourself and another user is in progress, unless they have the same broom, you would be the victor of the contested quaffle grab. In addition, rounds where you are successfully carrying the quaffle in an attempt to score, you only take half-damage from bludgers and blatching attempts.In the role of Beater, if you critically hit with a bludger, instead of doing double-damage you do 2.5x damage. If you critically fail with your bludger attempt to hit, rather than having your bludger randomly target another user (including yourself or an ally) the bludger cannot target you on a critical fail (but it can still target your allies). On a re-target, there is a random roll for target and then a fresh accuracy roll.In the role of Keeper, if the Keeper effectively blocks an attempt to score rather than obtain possession of the quaffle they can kick the quaffle at the user who attempted to score. This must be declared at the time actions are submitted. This would have damage like a bludger using an accuracy roll to hit and the user's strength score to determine the amount of damage done. If the quaffle hits or misses the target, a quafflegrab the next round would be necessary to determine which team has possession of the quaffle again.

Cost: 148 galleons, 4 sickles
Description: Japanese team's broom during the 2014 World Cup.
Prerequisite: 6th year or later.
Stats: +3 to all stats.
Effect: Special ActionMay attach a compassNinjutsu. The user is able to move so quickly and so skillfully, using their speed and deceptive abilities at their highest possible degree. The action done by this player would not be posted on the public mod until a round after it has happened. For example, if a Chaser caught a falling ally in round 2, all the mod would say is that the user "did something" and that you saw the other user fall. It would not be until the next round moderation that the public would see that the user was caught.
Note: a note would be lest for the team regarding the action and its relative success in the locker room.
An exception to this is if a user is attacked with a bludger or blatched by a user on one of these brooms, as it is necessary to know if they are in play or not the player would know they were knocked off the broom but not why or how.
Another exception to this is the location of the quaffle. If the quaffle is in one team or another's hands or if someone has scored with the quaffle.
Will this hide public knowledge that the snitch has been found for one round? YES.
If multiple beaters have these brooms, will players know who knocked them off their broom? Not until the next round.
Will users know who has the quaffle in the mod? Yes, they would need to know where the quaffle is for game play mechanics.
If you have a question regarding what would be recorded and how regarding this, please ask.
Varápidos
Cost: 169 galleons, 7 sickles
Description: Racing broom used by the Brazilian team during the 2014 World Cup.
Prerequisite: 6th year or later.
Stats: +3 to all stats.
Effect: Special ActionMay attach a compassEnganação. This literally means "cheat" and is a basically the art of sleight of hand for Brazilian Quiddich players. When a Quiddich player attempts to use the "cheat" action where they attempt to cast a spell while in a game, they succeed once per game automatically. Must declare alongside cheat action. All subsequent attempts to cheat have a 10% automatic "not noticed by the spectators" effect.
Starsweeper XXI
Cost: 190 galleons, 10 sickles
Description: Racing broom, notably used by the USA team during the Quidditch World Cup.
Prerequisite: 6th year or later.
Stats: +3 to all stats.
Ability: Special ActionMay attach a compassSpeed-Dodge: Once every 3 rounds, the user auto-dodges an attack. Declare in your action post when using. This would not interrupt your actual intended move. If an opponent has an auto-hit ability or skill, if that goes off then roll the attack and dodge as per normal.
Firebolt
Cost: 222 galleons 6 sickles
Description: The greatest broom available on the market : unmatched in terms of speed as well as maneuverability.
Prerequisite: This is a twink broom, meaning that you have means of earning more money or someone with disposable income has likely given this to you if you are before your 7th year.
Stats: +4 to a single stat of choice. Must be declared at the start of the game.
Ability: May pick any two of the following skills. They must be declared at the start of the game.
In the role of Chaser when you attempt to catch a passed Quaffle (such as when the Keeper has possession of the Quaffle and passes it to a teammate) you have advantage (meaning that it is rolled twice and you keep the better option) on attempts to catch if the opponent team attempts to intercept.In the role of Keeper when you attempt to block your goal, if your opponent somehow has advantage on attempting to score a goal, that is negated (they only have their normal single roll against you).In the role of Seeker you when you have found the snitch, if someone attempts to use Alley Oop to help you find the snitch, you get three rolls instead of 2. However, with this broom you do not gain the +1 chance to grab the snitch for rounds that the Alley Oop is used. To clarify, each round someone attempts to grab a snitch they get a +1 to the attempt and this stacks. There is no bonus (or stack from this round's attempt to grab) to grabbing the snitch.In the role of Beater, if you hit an opponent with a bludger the bludger will then ricochet off that user and target a second opponent of choice (must be declared, if not declared the target will be random and can be an ally but not yourself).In the role of Beater, if an ALLY dodges a bludger during the round, there is a 20% chance that you catch that bludger with your bat and you send it at a RANDOM enemy target.
Note: For the rules lawyers out there: you are not considered your own ally.In the role of Seeker, if an opponent attempts to Bludger or Blatch you, there is a 20% chance that you veer out of the way the last second and another enemy player at RANDOM is targeted instead.
Note: The new target still gets their normal dodge attempt. This is not considered to be an auto-dodge, in fact this roll is done before any accuracy rolls are done.In the role of Keeper a critical success on an attempt to block a goal not only means that the Keeper caught the quaffle but they have also successfully passed the quaffle (without a chance of interception) to an allied target of their choice. A critical failure in this case cannot happen for a Keeper, they get to re-roll the attempt to block.
Note: Critical failure and critical success chances can be expanded with certain abilities and skills.In the role of Chaser, as a free action if the user of this broom is successful in the quafflegrab they can as a free action pass the Quaffle to another user in an attempt to score. There is a chance of the quaffle being intercepted, however due to the fact that the user is "so fast" with the quaffle this would be considered "surprising" and the attempt to score would be done at +3 accuracy by the player it was passed to in an attempt to score.
Note: The attempt to score would be an automatic attempt by the user that catches the passed quaffle.In the role of Seeker, when using the search action if you critically fail on your search you get a re-roll in an attempt to find the snitch. In an attempt to grab the snitch, if you critically fail on your attempt to grab the snitch you get to re-roll your attempt to grab the snitch.In the role of Chaser, if you have a contested quaffle grab and a contested strength roll between yourself and another user is in progress, unless they have the same broom, you would be the victor of the contested quaffle grab. In addition, rounds where you are successfully carrying the quaffle in an attempt to score, you only take half-damage from bludgers and blatching attempts.In the role of Beater, if you critically hit with a bludger, instead of doing double-damage you do 2.5x damage. If you critically fail with your bludger attempt to hit, rather than having your bludger randomly target another user (including yourself or an ally) the bludger cannot target you on a critical fail (but it can still target your allies). On a re-target, there is a random roll for target and then a fresh accuracy roll.In the role of Keeper, if the Keeper effectively blocks an attempt to score rather than obtain possession of the quaffle they can kick the quaffle at the user who attempted to score. This must be declared at the time actions are submitted. This would have damage like a bludger using an accuracy roll to hit and the user's strength score to determine the amount of damage done. If the quaffle hits or misses the target, a quafflegrab the next round would be necessary to determine which team has possession of the quaffle again.
Oakshaft 79
Cost: 202 galleons, 16 sickles
Description: Antique broom, created in 1879 and used during the first Atlantic crossing back in 1939.
Prerequisite: 6th year or later

If the quaffle hits or misses the target, a quafflegrab the next round would be necessary to determine which team has possession of the quaffle again.This broom can carry multiple people. When someone uses the catch option to rescue a falling teammate, they can catch one additional teammate in a given round. If the user has the ability Catch then a user can catch an indefinite number of teammates in a round, but for each person they catch after the first there is a stacking 20% auto-failure chance.May attach a compassWhen attempting to use the return to broom action, this is a free action (meaning both users can make a normal action) the rider and ONE passenger (if there are multiple sharing the broom, it would cost both of their actions to return them to their broom also) can retrieve a single broom.

1. Oakshaft 79 from 750 galleons to 202 galleons 16 sickles.
** The changes to year 2 brooms is similarly improved. A year 2 student earned 2 sickles per day previously and with a broom in the mid 20-galleons in cost is still 170'ish days in comparison to 60 days.
** The changes to year 3 brooms continues this trend. Players at this point make 5 sickles per day. At 28-30 galleons is 98.6 days as a median. This is set at a median of 90 days so a slight improvement.
** The changes to year 4 brooms is where there is a noted increase in time. 7 sickles per day is what a year 4 player would earn and the cost of these brooms was between 37-43 with a median of 40. It would take 97 days for a year 4 to purchase this broom. It does take longer now, This persists with the twink broom also. At 50 galleons for the broom and 60 for the twink, the shooting star was honestly a budget best choice and almost everyone has one because of it.
** However things start to reverse immediately after year 5. in year 6 the brooms are actually CHEAPER in spite if higher earnings. Indeed, players were intended to make more at year 6, 1 galleon specifically per day.
** The changes to year 5 brooms w also see an increase in investment to earn. At 213 days to 370 invested, the median here is 270 and a low of 216 which is close and a high of 324 compared to the 3670 previously we are in line if not lower.
** The twink year 6 firebolt has seen a drastic price reduction however, from 575 days of investment as a year 6 to 378 which is still very high but nowhere near as high as it was.
** The oakshaft, the formerly most expensive broom on the site is brought down from 750 galleons to 202 galleons 16 sickles. Even with higher wages the oakshaft would have taken a year 1 player earing 1 galleon 8 sickles per day 510 days. As a player making 10 sickles per day this is reduced to 345 days.
End game items still require months of effort but brooms are a progressive purchase. Nobody needs to save for a year straight for that Oakshaft, they can instead buy a different broom and let it grow with them. In addition, there are additional ways of making money to consider such as errands and top house rewards. Consider that when you are attempting to save up for a broom, one of the biggest purchases you will make on this site.

There is something about ambition, how it not only propels you but also defines you.
