In my campaign, there's a PC hexslinger named Jacque.
Now Jacque has his two heirloom Tranter pistols as his
focuses. In his test of wills with a manitou, he
envisions it as a gunfight. If he wins the ethereal
gunfight, the manitou does what he says.

I did away with the whole idea of cards as a focus for
a huckster's/hexslinger's power. Now, in my game, all
huckster/hexslinger-type characters must have a focus
(it can be almost anything).

The focus determines the shape and form of the mental
duel with the manitou. Also, the huckster/hexslinger
gets +2 to all hex-related rolls while he in in
contact with his focus (as a sidebar, Jacque the
hexslinger has a habit of using Hunch a lot. Imagine
if he wants to get his +2 focus bonus... heh heh heh).


Any help there?
