True, but he'll only start with 5 hexes at that level (you get one hex for 
every level in hexslingin' at character creation). After that, he must spend 
5 Bounty Points for each hex he wants to learn. True, it's cheaper than the 
old system--but it ain't free. ;-)

All in all, we've tried to bring each Arcane Background's mechanics closer to 
the others. Blessed have had the easiest row to hoe for a while, and rather 
than make things tougher on them, we've made the others easier. That's why 
the other ABs now have a central "arcane" skill (Hexslingin', Mad Science, 
Ritual)--to make their mechanics and progression a little less...clunky. 

The card-draw and backlash rules still make a huckster's success less than 
certain, though. ;-)
