Equipment

Any rules for sawing off the ol' scatter-gun?

I'll have to research it... but off the top of my head, I'd say sawed-off = 1/2 range, +1 to hit.

Any chance for shotgun slug damage to raise by one die type? (2d10 for 12 ga. And 2d12for 10ga.)

Sawed-off is buckshot.

I know but am thinking of adding a lever action 10 ga. to his arsenal if he can get slugs that do more dmg. Than the carbine. (Aside from that there'd be no point). Also since steampunk optics are available, can he get a scope?

2d12 for 10 gauge slugs sounds reasonable. Do slugs cost the same as buckshot?

Scopes: sounds cool. I don't have any rules for it, but off the top of my head: Use a move action for +2 attack roll. Cost would be similar to binoculars?

Adding new rules and equipment is great! Just so long as there is an eye towards balance. I'd be interested in adding gear from other D20 supplements that might be compatible with the steampunk, pre-electrotech days of Weird West Aerth... D20 Modern comes to mind, as well as Spycraft, or Call of Cthulhu. Already using Sidewinder: Recoiled and Northern Crown books in addition to the regular Radiance text. Keeping in mind too, that costs and mechanics would need to be adjusted.

I would pay more for slugs with a clear conscience...

In starwars d20 scopes cut down range penalties for a number of range increments depending on their quality and size/price, (if my memory is clear). I would agree to your take one it too though. given the way other abilities work the move action is appropriate, but there oughta be a way to use both your scope and your other abilities that give you bonuses to hit from move actions for taking careful aim. Maybe a scopes move action (specifically) can be combined with other aim related move actions by forfeiting a swift action?

So what IS the damage reduction for wearing a cast-iron furnace door on your chest?

For the scope stats, I used the Cool Head gunslinger ability as inspiration. Some abilities do allow you to gain an extra move action, or maybe just spend a faith point. That way, you could stack scope's ability with Perfect Aim or Cool Head.

Cast-iron furnace DR is 5. It would be like mechaplate, only mundanely-crafted. And it would be unwieldy!
