[HoE] Another New Martyr



This is another Martyr for the Templars I've thought of. Enjoy.

Alan Turing, Saint of Puzzles
(Alan Turing was a war hero in England during WWII. He wasn't in combat, but 
he did crack the Nazi High Command's code, which proved invaluable to the 
Allied war effort. Later on, a black magician who was a lawyer managed to get 
him thrown in jail because he was homosexual. He was offered "hormone 
treatments" to "heal" his orentaiton, but they were really poisons. After he 
helped save his country from the dark Nazi menace, he was betrayed by a dark 
magician looking for more power.).

Deed- A Templar who solves a puzzle positivley vital to a quest is blessed by 
Saint Turing.  A charachter who is technologically inclined is more likely to 
garner his blessing. If you're creating a Junker Companion character, he may 
buy Turing's blessing for 2 points.

White- Gain +4 to all Scrutinize rolls for the Templar's faith in minutes.

Red- The Templar may make any sufficently powered, mostly intact, machine 
work the way it should.

Blue- The Templar can automatically decode any one code of any sort on a Fair 
(5) scrutinize roll and 1d6 hours of examination.

Legend- 1. The Templar may cause instant death to any racist or homophobe he 
can see or 2. The Templar and an additional amount of people equal to his 
Smarts die type can understand anything in any language at any volume within 
the normal limits of the Templar's hearing. Even characters with the Stone 
Deaf hindrance can understand. Any level of speech can be understood by the 
people this blessing occurs too.

Vexation- St.Turing leaves a Templar who makes fun of homosexual people. He 
leaves the Templar for 1d6 days if he wantonly destroys technology.
