One other note - the ATs _do_ have Saint powers.  Now, this ain't 
midicholorian-type "If there's enough in your bloodstream, you become a 
Templar" type rationale.  Someone is actively _giving_ the Anti-Templars 
their "normal" Templar powers.

Granted, Pinnacle doesn't explain _why_ they still have those powers, but 
the Temp SB pretty much cinches that their powers _do_ come from the Saints 
(the Rulebook fudged on this one).  If the Saints are lending their power to 
the ATs, you got to figure there's a reason.

Either that, or the Reckoners, who don't seem to be paying that much 
attention to the Wasted West situation in general, are going to an awful lot 
of trouble to exactly simulate Templar-type abilities for "their" 
Anti-Templars.
