Sword of Spirit
Legend
Winged boots (uncommon attunement) and wings of flying (rare attunement) give you a flying speed, so yes, you can Dash with them. However, a broom of flying (uncommon) and a carpet of flying (very rare) do not. They have a flying speed themselves. So the question is, should the user be able to Dash with them?
I'm trying to determine how to run this in context of examining balance between the 4 flying items. I think broom of flying is overly powerful without an action to activate, so I require one. I also require one hand to maneuver it (no hands required if you don't move that turn). Even then, it's still arguably as good as both the wings and the boots. It's almost as fast as the wings (and their speed is the only thing they have going for them, so that's apparently the reason for their rarity) with an unlimited duration (same as the carpet). If the broom and the carpet lack the ability to Dash, that would give a clear reason for the boots and wings to be considered more powerful. I don't think the carpet needs that limitation, but for consistency I'd probably apply it and it would probably still be fine--after all, it has an unlimited duration and if you could Dash with it that would effectively be it's movement outside of combat. Ideas?
