RE: [DL] Deadlands d20 question

["Joe Frankovitch" <slvrdrgn@larp.com>]

Here's the trick.  Use the old system for hexes and shaman rituals.
Make each hex its own skill, basically.  Make each ritual its own skill.
This avoids having a 7dX hexslingin' huckster wading through everything.
It also makes the Shaman have a lot less choice in how they get
appeasment.

Also, brand them with the drawback that is their arcane background.
Most town don't like an injun in their saloon.  And you are likely to be
burned at the stake when tossed sizzling streams of energy around.

When it comes to the big baddies at the end of an adventure, favor
abilities that protect from arcane sources of damage, rather than
bullets.

Just a couple suggestions.

Joe

It's not that they don't understand the system, they feel the Arcane
types, 
esp Hucksters and Shamens, can be overpowering.  Basically, a plain 
gunfighter could not stand up to a hexslinger or Wolf shamen.  This
ignores 
the general trend in my group towards playing spellcasters becuase they
are 
more fun.

I don't disagree with them, and have put in some tweaks to kind of level
the 
playing field a bit.
