Oh, one other penalty/disincentive would be drawing for cards as per the 
Wasted West companion book, to see if he gets closer to becoming a Death/War 
Servitor himself.

I already drew, and didn't get the necessary card.  Now, I'm _also_ tempted 
to maybe give him a Death-type mutation anyway.  But that kind of thing is 
Marshal-stuff.  So while it would no doubt be fun turning him into a vulture 
or whatever, that doesn't really convey a "message," shall we say?  And 
thus, it isn't much of a disincentive.

Still, maybe a minor, obnoxious "normal" mutation (I'll save the Doomsayer 
Major Mutations for later...  :) ) along with a visit from Stern passing on 
a message from his fellow saints about the loss of the Greater Power (Stern 
himself being okay with the whole "Yeah, sacrifice the innocent girl to kill 
the Servitor thing just because it's the quickest, easiest option" 
approach), might do the trick.

Still too outrageous?  Let me know.
