For Honor...and Intrigue

Some time ago I switched from running Honor+Intrigue to Star Wars D6 so I haven't posted anything for H+I in quite awhile. But on a forum I sometimes frequent the question of price lists came up so I thought I would share the price list that I used for 1620s France. Sources include Flashing Blades, Pirates and Zombies, Savage Worlds, All for One: Regime Diabolique, historical Medieval Prices, and other sources.

Special Weapons and Armor

Solingen Steel: Produced in the town of Solingen in the Imperial Duchy of Berg, blades made from Solingen steel are among the finest found in Europe, praised for their strength, flexibility, and keen edge. Dueling weapons made from Solingen steel are one step above normal on the weapon strength table (i.e. a Solingen Steel Rapier counts as if it were a Sabre or Longsword for Strength). These weapons cost three times the normal price listed. Availability may be limited.

Toledo Steel: Blades made from Toledo steel are among the finest found in Europe, praised for their strength, flexibility, and keen edge. Dueling weapons made from Toledo steel are one step above normal on the weapon strength table (i.e. a Toledo Steel Rapier counts as if it were a Broadsword to resist breaking). These weapons cost three times the normal price listed. Availability may be limited.

Ornate Weapons: Whether for show or crafted for the nobility are decorated with semiprecious or precious stones, ivory, engraving, and silver or gold filigree work. The price of the weapon is increased by 100-200L for semiprecious stones and sliver trim and by 500+ L for precious stones and gold trim.

Horse Combat

A horse’s hit points and speed vary by type and quality. If a horse is shot, or otherwise injured, it gives the rider/coachman a Penalty Die on any rolls. A horse that is at less than half its Lifeblood will simply stop and collapse unless the rider makes a Tough (-4) Career + Flair riding roll.

Riding horses are most often used for transportation by members of the nobility and the affluent bourgeoisie; a riding horse may be pressed into service as a draft animal in order to pull a cart of a carriage, but riding horses used in this way may only trot, not run. Riding horses may not wear barding.

Cavalry horses are trained to withstand the rigors of the battlefield; they may wear barding and do not shy or startle at loud noises or strong odors. Cavalry horses are never purchased at less than Fair quality. Cavalry horses ridden by cuirassiers and gendarmes wear barding which reduces damage from attacks by two; horses ridden by carabineers wear barding which reduces damage by one. Dragoons are mounted on riding horses, not cavalry horses. If the Royal Army is on campaign, cavalry horses will be scarce.

Draft horses pull plows, carts, wagons, and carriages; they are slower but stronger than riding horses. Should a character wish to purchase them, Excellent quality draft horses are scarce and Superb draft horses are extremely rare.

Weapons

Note: Prices are for basic weapons and armor. Fittings are of iron or brass. Gilding, inlay, carving, etc. increase the price.

Musket: a long weapon requiring a fork rest to use and a match to fire.

Arquebus: shorter than a musket it does not require a fork rest to use.

Musketoon: (or Carbine) even shorter, it could be carried by cavalry.

Blunderbuss: an early version shot gun it can fire shot or pistol balls.

Matchlock uses a burning slow match in a clamp at the end of a small curved lever known as the serpentine. Upon the pulling of a lever protruding from the bottom of the gun and connected to the serpentine, the smoldering match is lowered into the flash pan igniting the priming powder. The flash from the primer travelled through the touch hole igniting the main charge of propellant in the gun barrel. The serpentine dipped backward, toward the firer, in the reverse of the familiar forward-dipping hammer of the flintlock and later firearms. Half or less of the price of a wheellock.

Snaplock ignites the powder by means of sparks produced when a spring-powered cock strikes a flint down on to a piece of hardened steel causing a shower of white hot steel shavings to fall towards the priming powder in the flash pan. The flash from the primer travels through the touch hole into the firing chamber igniting the gunpowder. The pan has a closed cover which must be manually opened. More expensive than a matchlock and more prone to misfire than a wheellock.

Snaphaunce operates like a snaplock but with the automatic pan opening of a wheellock. It was popular with thieves and highwaymen. Priced in between a matchlock and a wheellock.

Doglock contains flint, frizzen, and pan; it had an external catch as a half-cock safety, known as the "dog". To load a dog lock, the cock was first secured with the external dog, preventing it from moving forward to strike the frizzen. The user could then safely load the musket or pistol. To fire, the cock was moved to the full-cock position, which caused the dog to fall backward and no longer prevent the lock from firing.

Flintlock has all the advantages of the snaphaunce but with a simpler and more reliable mechanism. It is cheaper than a wheellock and requires less specialized metallurgical and mechanical knowledge to manufacture; it is a little cheaper and more reliable than a snaphaunce.

Wheellock spins a spring-loaded steel wheel (wound with a spanner) against a piece of pyrite to generate intense sparks which ignite gunpowder in a pan, which flashes through the touchhole to ignite the main charge. The pyrite is clamped in vise jaws on a spring-loaded arm (or 'dog') which rests on the pan cover which automatically opens when the trigger is pulled. At least twice the price of a matchlock.

Ammunition

Black Powder comes in three grades: fine priming powder, coarser charging powder, and very coarse cannon powder. It sells for 5 sous per pound regardless of type.

Standard powder kegs weigh about 100lbs, with a volume of 1.25 cubic feet. There is sufficient powder in one keg for about 4,000 musket loads or about 6,000 to 8,000 pistol loads. A typical musket load is 150 to 200 grains.

There are 40 shots to a pound for a musket, musketoon, rifle or blunderbuss. 80 shots to a pound for a pocket pistol, 65 for a belt pistol, 75 for a horse pistol..

Shot: most people cast their own and a firearm comes with a mold to make bullets for the weapon (one at a time). A musket typically gets between 10 and 20 shots per pound of lead and a pistol from 15 to 25 shots/lb; (a cubic foot of pure lead weighs 712.5lbs.)

Flints: A flint is good for around 12 to 15 shots. A keg of flints weighs 70lbs and holds about 10,000 flints.

Pyrites: (used in Wheellocks) are a little heavier and less durable. One is good for about 8 to 12 shots. A 100lb keg holds about 50,000 firings.

Wadding: Wadding is usually cloth, paper, or leather; it is placed over the charge to provide a seal, and over the shot to keep it in place. Old sail cloth is often used for wadding.
