What folks are those?  Spirit is your Gut-check stat. 
It's the one that helps you avoid those nasty
"your-character-dies-of-a-heart-attack-while-filling-his-pants-with-shit"
results.  Spirit is vitally important to several
Arcane Backgrounds (Blessed, Toxic Shamans, Templars,
Sykers (who wants a 3d6 Brain Blast?) and Martial
Artists), including Hucksters, since many of the
direct damage Hexes are rolled off of Spirit.  Unless
I have some special circumstance in mind, any
Deadlands character I create has at least d8s in
Spirit and usually higher.

If I want Wind, Spirit gives me that too - and I can
buy Tough as Nails.
