Hucksters

To cast a spell normally, make a Spellcasting roll. If you roll a 1 on your Spellcasting die, you suffer backlash and are Shaken.
Power Points Recharge = 1 Power Point / 3 hours
Instead of casting a spell normally, you can choose to “deal with the devil.”

DEAL WITH THE DEVIL

Pick spell to cast and determine how many Power Points are needed.
Draw 5 cards + 1 per Grit and make the best 5 card poker hand possible. (Jokers are wild but dangerous – see results in next step.)
Compare your poker hand to the table below. If your hand matches or beats the number of Power Points needed, your Power Point requirements are paid by the manitou. A Spellcasting roll is still required for success. With a Flush or better, success is automatic, but a Spellcasting roll may still be needed to hit or in the case of an opposed roll (the Flush grants a +4 bonus). If your hand fails to provide enough power or you used a Joker, the manitou wins the battle of wills. After any hex effects are decided, you suffer backlash.

Four of a Kind	Four cards of the same value	As flush, and hex Duration is multiplied by 10 (except instant hexes).
Five of a Kind	Five cards of the same value (requires use of a Joker)	As flush, but the huckster can turn the power on or off at will for 24 hours at no cost.
Straight Flush	Five sequential cards of the same suit	As above, and the huckster draws a Fate Chip from the Fate Pot.
