well, in Weird West, I have kept a House rule that Hucksters need a 
Hexslingin' of 3 not to Backlash on Red Jokers.  Once the Hexslingin' 
becomes 3, no Backlashes.  Not really an issue for starting characters, who 
all seem to have a Hexslingin' of 5.

However, in HoE, I have doubled this to Hexslingin' of 6 not to Backlash on 
Red Joker.  Then, a Veteran o' Weird West could easily be past that, but 
most starting Hucksters are not quite over that hurdle, but will be soon.

I have no other House rules regarding ABs in HoE at this time.  I keep the 
+4 to Backlash Holper suggested, and, as he suggested, dropped the "one 
hand higher" rule in JC.
