Throw a Happy Fun Ball at him (um, disregard that comment, the
caffeine is wearing off). Sure, he can take geasa, but only one at a
time. Period. If he takes exclusive geasa for all of his Powers,
then it only counts as one gaesa (that's just me, though YMMV). This
means, of course, that he can only use one adept power at a time.
That, and geasa only apply to a 25% reduction of adept powers (MitS,
p33, first printing).

IOW, it's a munchkin.

Do all munchkins cheat? I play with a lot of min/maxxers, and I
thought they were the same thing. Apparently not (I should be so
blessed).
