maneuver at the end of a charge, before you roll you combat maneuver check, you can choose to perform your combat maneuver as a tackling maneuver, however, you always fall prone after performing a tackling maneuver. When you perform a tackling bull rush maneuver, after you determine the result of your bull rush maneuver, you can attempt to trip your target with a trip combat maneuver as a free action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity, after which, you fall prone. When you perform a tackling trip maneuver, you gain a +4 bonus to your trip combat maneuver, in addition to the bonus gained from charging, and then you fall prone after determining the result of your maneuver.
If you have the Improved Bull Rush feat, you can perform a tackling bull rush maneuver without charging. If you have the Improved Trip feat, you can stand up as an immediate action after attempting a tackling trip maneuver, without provoking an attack of opportunity. Lastly, if you have the Improved Grapple feat, you can attempt to grapple your opponent as an immediate action if you successfully trip your opponent as part of any tackling maneuver, before you’d fall prone as a result of the tackling maneuver.

eneral currency in the Pure Steam campaign setting is described on page 66 of the Pure Steam Campaign Setting, but otherwise mirrors that of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game; one dollar is equivalent to one gold piece, one dime is equivalent to one silver piece, and one penny is equivalent to one copper piece. The prices listed in Pathfinder Roleplaying Game material for weapons, armor, equipment, and so on, are unchanged in the Pure Steam campaign setting unless otherwise stated.Atanak Currency: The currency of the Rageaic Empire has no value outside that nation, and most have abandoned it in place of barter or foreign currencies. The very wealthy can issue a credit voucher at a business or warehouse they own. These vouchers are often nameless and may be traded like cash. Appraise is a vital skill in Atanak markets to ensure you are not cheated. Atanak moneychangers specialize in exchanging one form of currency for another, and add a 2d6% surcharge on top of the current exchange rate compared to the fixed 5% in other nations.
Gom Shao Currency: Gom Shao has a coin and paper currency similar to Ullera. The official exchange rate has been pegged at 1 yuan to 1 dollar for generations, but few Gom Shao or Ulleran merchants will accept foreign currency due to the loss of profit to moneychangers. The yuan was historically a pure gold coin, but due the volatility in silver value the coin is now only gold colored. A yuan is worth 10 jiao or 100 fen coins. Each coin has a square hole in the center allowing them to be threaded on a cash string for easy sorting and carrying. Paper money (fibi) has a value of 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 1000 yuan; each white mulberry denomination inked in a different prismatic color.
Mazan Currency: Mazan’s insist that their cotton strip is equal in value to the Ulleran dollar in spite of Ulleran banks valuing the currency at 10% less. This led to money smugglers cycling currency over the border to profit on
the favorable exchange rate within Mazan. As a result no one is officially allowed to carry Ulleran currency in Mazan. Being caught with more than $100 Ulleran dollars cash is a capital offense. The copper chop (tajadera) is the lowest value of coin in Mazan and will only purchase goods locally. It is thin copper piece shaped like a crescent chopping tool and stamped with the city-state emblem where it has an equal value to a FSU penny.
While the FSU backs their currency with a gold reserve, Mazan currency is backed by stockpiles of cocoa and coffee beans. In ancient times these beans were directly bartered, now metal coins embossed with the cocoa bean can be exchanged for bags of them at the Cartel Market. The cocoa cartel has a monopoly on the production of chocolate and coffee and is able to stabilize the value of beans by controlling how much is on the market. Growing these crops is a capital offense. City stockpiles hold vast fortune in raw and processed beans preserved through magic and technological means. This stockpile is each city-states treasury. Within Mazan one silver bean (cacao) is equal to a FSU dime.
In place of paper cash, Mazan uses swatches of woven cotton swatches (quachtli) exchanged one for one for FSU dollars. Each has a complex geometric design and highly value cotton and dyes making the currency difficult to counterfeit. To help detect frauds a mercury vapor lamp will reveal hidden threads that work like a watermark for this woven currency. The textiles are valued in 1, 5, 20, 40, 200, 400, 800, and 8000 quachtli. The most ostentatious will wear a cape completely composed of quachtli fabric as a display of extreme wealth. Within Mazan one quachtli is officially equal to one FSU dollar.
Rausch Currency: Rausch Currency mirrors the FSU system but features the likenesses of saints and archangels on its currency. In the money markets the Rausch and FSU dollar are equal in value +/- 10% based on economic/ political climate (GM discretion).
