I didn't think about them either before I let them in my campaign.  Bad
idea.  I've found that the new rules simply allow too much power, too fast.
 What it would have take 10 sessions to do now takes around 4.  The
huckster in our group quickly outstriped the rest of the posse in power, so
much that I had to start crafting adventures around his weaknesses to even
be a challenge (combat wise).
