RE: [DL] Guts and fear, WAS saloon gals

["William Ogden" <w_ogden@hotmail.com>]

Someone posted once an idea for an edge that would give a penalty to the 
scart roll on a failed gut check.  I think they called it something like Big 
Brass Ones.

I think for hte same cost as Sand or Touch as Nails, that would be 
reasonable.  Or house rule it that you subtract Grit and Brave bonuses from 
the scart dice.
