         They evolved into sykers in the inter-game time period, but I 
don't know of any reason why you couldn't still play one in HOE.

         Hucksters can be played, but with a MUCH higher risk of blowing 
themselves up. The Syker SB says hucksters are almost unheard of in HOE, 
and most arcane folks in HOE become Sykers instead to enjoy their greater 
powers at reduced risk.

         Very few people of true faith are left after Judgment Day came and 
went and their Deity of Choice failed to materialize. They do exist, but 
are quite rare.

         Nope.

         See comments on Hucksters above.

         As any Jew, Christian or Muslim would tell you, so was 
Yaweh/Jehovah/God/Allah. If you're one of their number, it's not hard to 
believe the Horsemen predate the Talmud, Old Testament and Koran as well.

         Sometime in 2002, we are told, unless the kindly elves who live at 
the PEG offices write it for Shane while that tortured genius sleeps 
exhausted at his keyboard.

         I'm not a big HOE expert, or an ordained cleric, but I think I got 
the main HOE/theology points right. Hope this helped in any event!
