  I don't think that knacks, Deadlands variety, really work with the HoE
setting.  They just don't feel right, what with the Reckoning, Ghost Rock
maelstroms, mutant hordes, etc.  (Yeah, SURE you were Born On Christmas!)
  That said, I can see them getting into the HoE setting the same way as
the Blessed: via the Veteran of the Weird West edge (or Marshal fiat, of
course).
  It seems to me that in many ways radiation is the knack of the entire
Wasted West, whether you want it or not; sure, it usually sticks you with
something that sucks, but hey, it's the Apocalypse.  Deal with it...
