Re: [HOE] Law Dogs: The red headed step-child of character types?(Shane, PEG, Marshals only)

- I agree that a Full Book on the Law Dogs would be overkill. However I do
think there needs to be some updating to the Law Dog edge. Much like the
soldier BACKGROUND in Waste Warriors, I'd like to see something similar for
Law Dogs. I'm sure that is a valid Epitaph article.
