Hexslingers are introduced in Law Dogs as a huckster 
variant.  Their hexing is focused on shooting really, 
really well, but their abilities are tied pretty closely to 
their focus, normally a weapon of some sort.  they lose the 
flexibility of Joe Q. Huckster, but they're Hell on Wheels 
in a gunfight and have access to some neat new hexes that 
up the damage their weapons do, let them snatch an 
opponents bullets out of their gun and get obscene bonuses 
to hit (not only Kentucky Windage from H &H, which negates 
penalties to hit, but things like Bullseye and Bullet With 
Your Name which can reduce TN's to hit to 2 or less...).  
They're mean.  And cool.  And on my webpage in a slightly 
more distinct form than the one in Law Dogs.
