The following tables are meant as value determination substitutions
for the D&D tables. Those of you gamemasters and players that
like realism in your finds of precious gems and minutely carved and
crafted jewelry will probably like these tables. They are meant for those
sticklers that make D&Ding more interesting, in my mind. For those
that like the fast-pace, roll-it-up-and-get-it-over-with type of gaming
with no extra added realism to brighten up their gaming day, I suggest
that these tables are not for you.

Example of Determining Gems and Jewelry:
Gems — 3 gems are found. The judge decides whether he will roll
for them as a group or separately. He decides for rolling them as a
group. He rolls the percentile dice and consults table A. A 55% was
rolled indicating that the gems are of 75 gold piece value per carat. The
judge rolls the dice again consulting table B. The roll is 77% indicating
that each of the gems are of 5 carats each. Elementary math solves the
rest for 75 G.P. x 5 (carats) x 3 (gems) = 1,125 gold piece value for all
three gems. If one wishes to add extra realism he could then proceed to
table C and see what type of gems he has acquired by rolling on the 50
G.P. - 75 G.P. table.

Jewelry — 3 pieces of jewelry are found and the judge again decides
to roll them as a group. He rolls a 63% and consults table D. This
indicates that he has electrum (base) jewelry. He then throws the dice
again to see how many gems are set in each piece of jewelry. Rolling for
them as a group he throws a 20% on table E indicating each piece of
jewelry has 2-12 gems each of no more than 5 carats per gem (though
this number could be less it cannot go over five carats.) The judge then
refers back to tables A & B for basic values and carat determination of
the gems on each piece of jewelry. One might then go to table F for determining
the type of jewelry found.

One might say that this could get a bit involved if one ran into a
horde of dragon treasure containing 42 gems and 34 jewelry. This contention
I agree with and these tables are primarily aimed at the smaller
finds of gems and jewelry, not at those that would have you rolling all
day. AS for myself, just to roll up special jewelry or gems once in
awhile is a treat!
