I typed this in my sleep one night..it's pretty incomplete, but it means
something...if someone could tell me what it means i'll try and finish
it...x.x


Treasure charts:
Since in D&D currency works quite differently from Deadlands, here's a quick
way to convert all that gold, silver, copper, and platinum to "dollars worth
of goods".  These goods represent things that anyone would want to buy at
market price;  rations, clothing, and the like.  each "platinum" is worth 1
dollar.  that means that 10 gold=1 dollar, 100 silver=1 dollar, and 1000
copper=1 dollar.  These goods are easily traded for their value.

"components and luxury goods"--Gems and art:in DL these translate to luxury
items and component items:most things that people want, but don't need.
Components(which replace gems) are worthless to anyone but a junker(unless
someone needs that exact component, which is unlikely).  Luxury items can be
sold for their market price to some people, but if you unload them all at
once, you'll get shafted on the price.

Uncommon Ranged Weapons




d20 Junker 2.0
"Enchanting" guns:Enchanted guns, much like enchanted bows, bestow their
bonuses upon their ammunition.  Enhancement bonuses do not stack with
enchanted ammo.  Many types of ammunition abilities, namely those which
dictate the material from which the bullets are made(i.e. silvered or
ghost-rock tipped), cannot be put on the weapon.
Weapon Enhancements:
Having a weapon do anything special in the wasted west is damn expensive.
The cost for an enchanted weapon is its enhancement bonus squared times
$1000.
Ghost Steel:Using steel tempered in ghost rock fires drastically reduces the
weight of a weapon(weight down by half), and makes it more succeptable to
enhancements.  This is like a "masterworks" weapon in D&D. Cost:$100 for
pistols, $200 for rifles and SMGs, and $500 for HMGs.

Enhancements:To give a weapon enhancements requires either an appropriate
smithing(gunsmith, swordsmith) skill or Knowledge:occult engineering at the
level mentioned.  If the character is not a junker, the Custom-Build feat is
necessary to give these weapon enhancements.
Keen:As per the DMG
Shocking:As per the DMG
Brilliant Energy:As per the DMG
Balanced:As per Throwing
Returning:As per the DMG
Freezing:As per Icy Burst
Flaming:As per the DMG
Stabilized:As per Distance
Glow Rod:Functions as a Staff of Spell Storing for Doomsayers.
A.I.:Junkers use this ability to cram a tech spirit into a weapon, giving it
a greater range of abilities(AI enhancements), as well as giving the weapon
a kind of intelligence.  Roll up Int, Wis, and Cha as for a normal
intelligent sword, but these weapons do not get any of the abilities, save
the ability to communicate(via speech 10% chance, all are able to
communicate with a computer through a dataport).  It only gets as languages
Binary to talk to computers, and if it can speak, the native language of the
junker that built it.  Enhancement bonus:+5
AI Enhancements:These enhancements can only be put on weapons with the AI
enhancement built by a junker or on relics(in which case, they don't need
the AI enhancement and can be normal intelligent weapons)
Dancing:
Defending:
Magic Enhancements:Not even junkers can pull off these enhancements--They're
for relics only!
Blessed:
Relics:
