Re: [DL] Hucksters - Joker Question

[Jesse Burneko <jburneko@yahoo.com>]

Whoa!  What was that about reshuffling when you hit a
joker?  I thought hucksters reshuffle between every
spell which is why they use a separate deck from the
combat action deck?  Did I miss something?  If I did
could you please cite the page number in the Revised
Edition books that states this.  Thanks.
