[HOE] "NEW" Edge for a select few.....

["Jeff Shoffner" <shoffner@esper.com>]

Playing some HOE/DL crossover last night, I was "inspired" (read: driven to
the point of shooting the marshal) by an incident to create a new Edge for
Hucksters of HOE.....


Pimp Slap 3

Being a huckster in the Wasted West is a surefire way to have your brain
lobotomized by a manitou.  However, you're either stubborn or refuse to let
these guys get the best of you, so over the years, you've developed a mental
way to eye-gouge, arm bite, & cajone-squeeze your will onto these pesky
manitous--in other words, you no longer invite them to a 'friendly' game of
poker, you grab one & fight dirty.  For the Wasted West, this means nothing,
however, if you're one of the rare few that travel to the Weird West, this
becomes helpful as the manitous during this time are unprepared for this
type of match.  For this reason, whenever you roll your hex casting dice &
get two raises over the TN, you force the manitou into submission & can eek
out more power--the cost for hex effects are lowered by one hand. (if a hex
requires a minimum of an Ace, it is now treated as a Red Card)
This doesn't come without some price.  First, because of your dealing with
HOE manitous, you've gotten for free either the Mean as a Rattler,
Bloodthirsty, or Loco (2) hindrance, marshal decides.  Last, manitous don't
like being pimp slapped around, so if you go bust, or draw a black joker,
the marshal adds 2 to the backlash table roll.



This was written in jest, but the more I look at it, the more I like it....
