Oh, don't get me wrong, I will allow them to play one of the "other types," and
without changing the Arcane Background cost, it's just that I've seen a few posts
about Marshals not wanting as many Hucksters/Shamans/etc. in their games, so I was
offerering an idea for 'em.

I agree completely.....as long as they don't wanna play something totally
off-base, they should be allowed to play what they want to.Marshal Nightchilde
