*Usually you can just discount the weight, as it is close to negligible. However, for large quantities of coins, weight might be an issue.

Bayonet : This modification may be added to a crossbow (except for hand crossbows), firearm, guitar, or similar object. The bayonet weighs 0.5 kg and lets the weapon be used as a Spear in close combat. Costs 2 mk. Attaching or removing a bayonet is a 4SA, or a 2SA with Rapid Reload or Quick Draw. For +2 mk, the detached Bayonet may be used as a dagger.

Ornate : add any amount of value to the weapon. This does not actually improve the weapon in any practical way, but it looks impressive. The prices listed are a bare minimum. Some common improvements include:

Brass Hilt: +5 mk
Silvered Hilt: +5 gp
Ivory Hilt: +10 gp
Gilded Hilt : +50 gp
Silk Tassel: +2 gp
Engraved Blade: +10 gp
Unusual Colour: +2 gp

Artifact: this weapon is of extraordinary quality, and likely has its own name. See Chapter 9: Artifacts and Magic Items for more information

Cold Iron, Mithril, Silvered Blades: See the special materials section (below)

Combination Weapon: You can, generally speaking, combine any two weapons into one. You simply add the cost and weight of the two weapons together, and it becomes a double weapon. Examples could include a hammer with a pick end on the other end of the haft, or a sword with a dagger at the hilt. Some weapon combinations, like a sword that is also a bow, are impossible. With Combat Arts: Two Weapon Fighting, you can get extra attacks.
