Thanks, great arguement.  I had figured that was the
case, but I couldn't think of a reason why.  Thanks.

Personally I think chips are enough to take care of a
munchkin Harrowed, but after reading one too many
posts about a Harrowed Blessed Martial Artist killing
Stone I just had to rant.  Also the present dominion
rules seem weaker than the old rules, and I was
looking for a way to reflect the character becoming a
monster.  Maybe make the semi-abomination at twice
spirit, and the full abomination at three times.
