Aww, whadja go an' do that fer?

Try this: tell the PC that it's an amazing draw, let him keep it and
GRIN EVILLY. Throw in a maniacle cackle or two. Let him make whatever
Ubercharacter he wants.

Now. Make the character harrowed. There's just NO WAY a manitou is going
to pass up a body that good. Make it a GREATER Manitou with a kick-ass
Spirit. Give him a 5-point hindrance that gives the manitou a +5 to all
dominion rolls.

You see where this is going yet? When the other PCs aren't expecting it,
cash in a blue chip and GO TO TOWN. Munchkinism works both ways, boys
and girls... what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
