Wild West Money

Apply the following changes to any monetary amount in PTA:

For most simple items, place a decimal point in front of the hundreds place and chop off the last digit.

Example, say you have an antidote which costs 100 Pokebucks. In the Wild west, you would place a decimal point in front of the 1, and chop off the last zero, and antidotes now cost $0.10.
Another example. Say you have a revive, which costs 8000 pokebucks. In WW, you place a decimal between the 8 and the rest of the zeroes and chop off the last zero and you are left with a revive costing $8.00, which is quite a sum in this campaign.

Exception, as a rule of thumb for amounts of money given as prerequisites for feats or classes, instead place the decimal as thus:

place the decimal between the hundreds and tens places, and do not drop any digits.

Example: The Engineer class requires a Mech arm to take, the components of which normally cost 10,000 pokebucks. In the WW, it would instead cost $100.00, an Astronomical sum!
Another example: For the Sheriff's Crowd Control skills, it requires 850 pokebucks to take the feat and 200 per smoke bomb created. under the WW rules, it would instead cost $8.50 for the materials, and $2.00 per bomb.
