Working on a system for enhancing firearms separate from other weapons.
Because firearms are much more complex, relatively, than a bow or sword, they cannot be enhanced magically. The guns themselves can be crafted to have a bonus equivalent (thus, non-stack-able) as a more generic +1-5 magical bonus, this only applies to attack.. Very few additional properties, like swift, may be added. Ammunition can be created with magic-like properties, such as flaming or acid, though the list is very short. No vorpral, no swift, and the ammo does not have any attack bonus associated with it, though it does have an appropriate damage bonus.
My issue is cost changes for all this, since they all function as magic, though operate in anti-magic fields, are un-dispel-able, but do not overcome magic damage reduction. I was looking to a generic +25-75% increase in cost, but have no inkling what it should be.

Psst... Psst... You might want to check this out...
Already have it. Good looks, ofc.
Just trying to set up alchemy as a compliment/competitor to magic, separate and distinct, especially since I'm trying to convince the GM to take our setting, which already has a bit of steam-punk in it, to the next level.
No. Got a link to any specific product?

Liber Mechanika - this should have some information on it in there.

But most notably the main book.

It's not the alchemy you are looking for, but it is magic technology. And they have what they call Runeplates that you can put on weapens, melee or ranged, they do about a 50% markup.
But I like thier gun selection and mods you can do, it's a good read. $30 for a PDF, but I think it's worth it.
Thanks a bunch.
I give Iron Kingdoms two thumbs up!
