This was how it was originally worded in Deadlands about... oh, 2d4 versions
ago. They changed this in HOE. You're no longer limited to 10 points of
edges/hindrances, you can spend as many points as you want. If you want to
buy all edges... go ahead (but this is usually the equivalent of putting a
huge neon "GM: Target Pig" sign on your forehead).
