[HoE] Templar Relics and a few quick questions



The original Templars were started when a band of french nobleman joined together to fight in The Levant.  Over time they gained a great deal of wealth, which they would often use to lend monarchs that needed quick cash.  Their willingness to help backfired when Philip the Fair had all the Templars arrested and used torture to make them confess to heretical acts which he used to convince Pope Clement, whom Philip had helped to gain the position, to dissolve the order.  After this was done Philip raided the templar treasury only to find it empty.  Legend had it that 33 templars had escaped with all the treasure, which was rumored to hold the Holy Grail, Ark of the Covenant, and the Shroud of Turin among other religious things, to Scotland.  Now that the order has started up again its about those relics started to pull their weight again.  While I'm going to leave the big ones up to the boys at Pinnacle heres a minor relic that could have been in the stash (more to come in future posts).
    The Tablets of Aramethia(spelling?)
Written at about the same time as Revelations these tablets go on at some length about the Reckoners and some of their more dangerous servitors.  Unfortunately Aramethaic(?) is not one of the more commonly spoken languages, in fact its about as dead as Stone.  Fortunately if a Templar with a Faith rating of 7 or higher attempts to read it the cuneiform writing the symbols to seem to form coherant sentences.
Benefit: After a templar with the aforementioned stat requirement reads all of the tablets (7 in all), a feat that requires a entire day and then 8 hours in meditation has his faith fortified and recieves a greater reward in one of her rewards, it still has to be level 5.  This tablet can also provide the posse with the weakness of a particular servitor that they will be facing soon.
 
Please respond with what you think and also...
Does a Doomsayer with Rad Baby also increase the damage the power does indirectly such as with Glow Stick?
When you roll for the bonus d4's for Dont get im riled do you add them together like damage or just add the highest like a trait roll?
When rolling locations for massive damage and you roll up head or gizzards do you just re-roll or just forget the wound?
