I actually think Faith may not be the big problem. Children often believe in
all that stuff quite unquestioningly... I personally just don't think
_Simon_ would allow it. Big and tough sure, but even a highly educated 10
year old (50 as a Grundie) can't realistically be expected to make the types
of judgment calls Templars are required to... Yes, their minds develop
quickly, but like _CotA_ says, they just don't have the life experience to
draw from. I don't think they really understand much about the world now
(1d4 Knowledge), and certainly wouldn't have the capacity to decide who gets
help and who doesn't, and who lives and dies by that decision. What 6 year
old wants that much responsibility?

My opinion, anyway.....
