Re: [HoE] JunkGuyver Thoughts

Ya Thaumaturgical Diffusion has Hexes for Mad Scientist, but I don't see why
they can't be adopted by Junkers or refined by said Junkers. As for any
other Hex any where for a Junker/Huckster, I can't think of one. If your out
to make a MacGuyver the way we said don't bather with the other Hexes...at
least at first (I love the way Hucksters & Hexes is written & would
recommend it to any one).
