HERE is the page defining the Bede (moves like a bishop or a dabbabah). Ralph Betza says this piece is roughly equal to a Rook on the standard 8x8 board. Michael Howe [his comment has been deleted] is interpreting your Templar as a Bede which is limited to a maximum movement of two squares. Such a piece should have value approximately halfway between a Bishop and a Rook.
