Well, I'll probably post on this several times, but just to reiterate, I 
don't think the problem is that players who take Templars can't "hack it" 
(so to speak - actually Templars probably hack it quite a bit...) as far as 
the code and all.  The question is, can the other players, playing their 
characters in-character?

And can the player of the Templar handle the fact that in some cases, it 
seems as if his character must "self-destruct" to play by the Templar code?

More importantly (and it looks like someone touches on this a little later), 
is it more interesting to role-play an Anti-Templar that is doomed to turn 
to evil, and has no choice in the matter?  Or one who must continually 
assess each situation, determine if drawing on a reckoner-type evil power is 
necessary, and may have to expplain to his comrades later his unwillingness 
to do so ("I could have drawn on the War power and killed that Fearmonger 
with the extra damage, but...").
