Re: [DL] Proposed Hex

[Jason Young <jason_d_young@yahoo.com>]

I think the mechanics of the cards/actions may need some clarification.
Off the top of my head:

The huckster draws one card from the Action Deck before taking each of the
allowed bonus actions (which are determined by her hand, as written
below). If the Black Joker is drawn, the huckster loses that action, the
hex immediately stops and she suffers backlash.

Now, I might actually consider making this a speed 2 hex, with all of the
huckster's hex-generated actions occurring on the second card. (Which
means that you would actually need as good a hand as a straight to
actually gain actions.) It depends on whether it is too powerful as
written.

Which it very well may be. The ability to shoot someone three or four
times in a row is pretty devastating. Especially if they can't Vamoose,
which they probably couldn't given the flavor of the hex. I would need to
compare it to other hexes to be certain, but the speed 2 adjustment might
bring it into line very nicely.

HTH,

Jason
