Mainly that I don't have CotA :)
Bob usually gets all the HoE books and I get all the Deadlands, except
when I need a HoE book for a char. or it's specifically cool (like Waste
Warriors).

What's Rad Baby do again, please?

The version I was going to use worked like in the book, but the wind
burned took 1 hour/point to recover just like strain. So if she's not
careful she could make herself REALLY vulnerable to getting winded.
Incidently, I got pretty interesting draw for her mutations et al. Just
stop reading here if you don't care.
Our group likes to have heroes that are a little above par so we let
players draw 3 times for stats and mutations and such and pick the one
they want (hey, it's better than it used to be). So I got good draws all
3x and it basically came down to the mutations as the choice:
1. She got the one that lets her regenerate like a lizard
2. She's haunted by her former mentor who pressures her to do better (red
joker: haunted with a black card draw), which sounds pretty cool. She can
also drain wind from people by touching them (doomie hinderance). The only
problem is that for her black joker I drew the one where she needs to
sunlight to live and has to walk around topless during the day. Not quite
willing to push the game that far.
3. I think I'm going to go with this one: The good side: Her quickness and
strength were raised 2 die types. The bad side: her bones are brittle and
break if she takes a serious wound or higher and she has a -2 to all
healing rolls for seriour or higher wounds.
So taking this one I picked up the berserker edge and basically decided
that she can "over-clock" her body and make it work harder and faster than
normal. But consequently it puts more stress on her body and she's more
prone to get injured.
Anyway, just sharing char. ideas.

Cool. Thanx.
