[HoE] Sykers question

["Mark" <holtman.4@osu.edu>]

Hi,
I'm fairly new to the list and also fairly new to the game as well. I love
it so far but i am puzzled by one of the Arcane Backgrounds in the main
book. One of my posse drew a nine after drawing a joker which gives him one
power from the sykers section of the rules. I was wondering, does this also
give him the Blastin' skill or should I just treat whichever skill I give
him as a separate skill, meaning that if I were to give him Fleshknit would
I just give him levels in that and make him roll based on knowledge just as
a real syker would with the Blastin' skill? I know this is a little hard to
follow but i thihnk you get the picture. Any help would be appreciated.
