            I'd say that anything arcane from the future except junker devices
would be weaker.  Actually, Sykers may still be as strong, now that i think
about it.  Templar and Doomsayers shouldn't have as much access to their powers
though, maybe a maximum of 5 points of strain per day worth of use for
doomsayers and some equal restriction on Templar. (maybe all their rewards are
one or 2 levels lower)  After all, if all their powers are invested in them by
Simon, as suggested by the HOE book, then they would be as powerful before
Simon had even been born.  I agree that doomsayers may not have any powers at
all before the bombs, but it would be really cool to have a couple run into a
posse from the wierd west  :)
