Just as a side note, I don't at all understand this whole idea of characters being screwed if power-ups are fiddled with.
You're still able to roleplay whatever the hell you want with regard to your character's abilities (as long as it isn't hitting god-modding, say). It just wouldn't have a direct effect on your CA. Storyline is separated from stats (until you earn it).
Or Alex's suggestion works too. I like his suggestion, actually. Provided the power-up doesn't become a pre-requisite for 'earning' the unpurchaseable power-up.
