See my previous post.  I'm not unhappy with the change for new characters - 
it's just that the (hopefully, abbreviated) revised rules posted here did 
not show how existing Hucksters (sometimes with a very substantial # of 
Bounty Points invested into those various Hex levels) will be able to 
convert thosepoints into something else.

If I have what appears to be 100 BPs invested in 10 hexes at Level 4, what 
will be my players' options for reinvesting these points?
