AGN unification models spawned in the optical are now confronted with multiwavelength data that break the simplest Type I/II dichotomy. For instance, some broad emission line (optical Type I) AGN (BLAGN) are found to show significant X-ray absorption, and some narow line AGN (NLAGN) show none. Some of the absorbed BLAGN are explained as BALQSOs, but some are not. We cross-correlate the largest intermediate depth Chandra X-ray survey, the ChaMP, with a new SDSS photometric quasar catalog (extending to fainter mags and higher redshifts than the spectroscopic sample), and study the X-ray spectral properties of luminous broad line quasars. This constrains the absorbed fraction, identifies new BALQSO candidates, and tests claims of decreased absorption with increasing luminosity. We also contrast the X-ray spectral properties of this sample with those of an X-ray-selected BLAGN sample from the ChaMP.
