Repeat after me: No.

The Holy Grail probably shouldn't be bought. Finding this kind of thing 
should, if anything, be the resolution to an epic adventure. Possibly 
involving Knights who say Ni, but that depends on your groups' 
silliness level.

Again, unless you want to allow it: NO. I think ti would, at lease have 
a penalty or Belongin's cost equat to, say, Veteran o'the Weird West.

Where's the grail's stats from anyway?

I have a house rule in my game where I will occasionally let players 
redraw this kind of draw if it violates the concept. Most players 
appreciate it... having a mutant-hater who ends up as an obvious mutant 
is enought to warp a good concept a bit too far for me, so I'll allow a 
redraw... Of course, sometimes I just say, "Well, that's pretty bad, 
want a redraw?" before saying what it is...

Yes, I'm cruel. But fun.
