I'll continue to work on this and add gear that can only be found here. But, all winning will be in D&D currency but can be converted as follows.

Amount	Into
1 Sp	$5
75 Sp	1 Gear pick
100 Gp	1 Resource points
1 Gp	25Y
80 GP	1 RP (Star Craft)
1 Gp	1 Shilling

Note: I'm using the basic Longsword from D&D and the average price of pistols to set the above prices.

All right, for ammunition the cost are pretty cheap. 1 Cp per 20 normal rounds (Note: arrows, darts, and bolts are considered "normal rounds"), 1 Cp per 5 gel rounds, 1 Sp per 5 APDS round, and 1 Sp per exploding round (Note: energy based weapons are considered "exploding rounds").

All energy weapons can only use normal ammo all other rounds are for projectile weapons.
Gel rounds
This type of ammo changes the damage type for almost any gun into stun (non-lethal) damage due to the fact that the rounds flatten on impact to disperse it's energy over a lager area.
APDS
These Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot rounds decrease your opponents armor rating by 4 points. Note: this only applies to worn armor not AC acquired through a high Dex.
Explosive Ammo
This type of ammo subtracts 2 from your opponents Armor rating and adds 2 (or 1d6 for d20 damage) to damage dealt. However, on a critical failure or a natural 1 the ammo miss fires and ruins the weapon and the player holding it takes the base damage of the gun (no save).

Query:
Riddle of Steel cash is (VERY) different from standard D&D. On it's scale, a single SP is worth roughly 10 times as much as a standard SP($50), with 1 GP ($1k) being 200 standard SP. A copper is roughly 83% a standard silver at roughly $4 dollars, and a copper bit is a quarter of that at 1 dollar. How will that be handled?

All currency conversions will be appropiate to the system. What is the currency in RoS?

[Sutton]

As I said, it is the same type of coinage in Dungeons and Dragons, there are 4 denominations, ordinarily called pieces like normal D&D cash, here we are using the names from the nation with coin names most similar to real money, Cyrinihimeir, to avoid confusion.There the have the copper bit (a copper penny cut in 4 quarters), a Copper Penny, Silver Shilling, and a Gold Crown.

1 Silver Shilling is basically 10 Silver Pieces, 1 Gold Crown is 20 Silver Shillings, 1 Silver Shilling is 12 Copper Pennys, and 1 Copper Penny is 4 bits.

Many of the different nations have their own currency names, but they all operate in the same proporitons, with some being lighter or heavier than the Imperial Standard. This is pretty much irrelevant for now.

Just changed the Y so it looked more like the nuyen symbol, used strikeout for it. If you don't like it, sorry.
