[HoE] Anti-Templar silliness



<<I'm just saying MY take on ATs is they are the dark jedi of HOE. No matter how
good their intentions will be, INEVITABLY they will go to the dark side. If
someone wants to play a doomed character that's one thing, but they should
understand that the clock is ticking and its only a matter of time.>>

I see this as a revisit of the Junkers-Should-Be-Like-MacGuyver issue.  What's
going on here is that you're inferring a big similarity from a small one.  The
Anti-Templars have a distinct "dark knight" feel to them.  This doesn't
necessarily mean that they're:
a) Batman
b) Dark Jedi
or
c) The Black Knight from Holy Grail
They're Anti-Templars, a concept with a few simliarities to things already out
there, but still an original idea.
Continuing this logic, let's assume that:
-All Road Warriors are Lame, because Mad Max had a bum knee
-All Sykers are Blue Oyster Cult fans (like I didn't have enough reasons to
dislike Sykers)
-Templars carry lightsabers, since Jedi do.
-The Cult o' Doom is comprised of stupid aliens from Babylon 5.
-Mojave Rattlers attack anyone who tries to mine the Spice from the planet.
-The Harrowed are really just Risen from Wraith
You can plainly see how silly this can get...
