I think earlier Deadlands publications used Hexslinger as an 
alternative for Huckster, but they were added as a 'prestige class' of 
sorts (but in deadlands Classic, not d20) in Law Dogs and.or Hexarcana. 
Basically, a combo of the Focus hinderance and some special spells on 
top of the standard Arcane Background.

There's some issues with it that were resolved for the Shootist as 
presented in Lone Stars.
