Re: [DL] A question, and some waffling

 <huckster phantom finger targeting question/example snipped>

I would be inclined to say no he cannot change targets just 
because he got a good hand.  However as Marshal I would be inclined 
to give him some nice extra effect (like picking up with gun still 
in it's holster, including the guy?).

Otherwise would it not be similar to casting sould blast at a pleb 
and because you got a full house declaring that it was cast 
at his boss instead?

Depends on the mindset of the huckster when he cast the hex.  If say 
he is trying to get to a shadow in order to get the drop on someone, 
as long as he got the minimum hand required to get him the distance 
to that shadow he would get there.  If on the other hand he casts the 
hex while wanting to get as far away as possible, then I would allow 
him to travel to a shadow further on than he might initially have 
expected to reach, as long as it was still in his line of sight.

You never do, the last session I ran just about ended up being one 
long combat session as two PC's (who had not met previously) decided 
to fight.  It started as a laugh between players, however the 
harrowed guy failed his rage check and the martial artist refused to 
back down.  The rest of the posse got on with the plot and ended up 
getting massacred as there wasn't enough of them to deal with the 
threat.  The fight only ended because the rest of the posse ended up 
setting the place on fire and so everyone had to evacuate 
immediately.

Then there is the guy who decided to sneak up behind Grimme during 
his Sunday Sermon, whilst holding a gattling rifle...
