Fortunately RQ is the easiest game I know of to get rid of Power gamers. Using their own techniques, heres a quick step by step guide.

STEP 1.
Kill his character

        style point - the weediest possible creature gets a 'lucky' with a      
        critical.  This adds to the other players' satisfaction no end!

STEP 2.
Be helpful, make his divine intervention role for him (because there are bonuses he doesn't know about of course!). Gosh, wow how lucky. You only rolled half his Power! After all having cheated (sorry -- got lucky) to kill him it wouldn't be fair not to let him make it.

STEP 3.
Kill him again, about 3 days journey from the nearest Chalana Arroy acolyte.

STEP 4.
Half most of his physical characteristics on the journey. Make sure the resurrection succeeds.

Goto 1.
By now a lucky rubble runner should do the trick! Alternatively use the same weedy creature again and again and again and practice the innocent look.

By this time he should be the butt of as many running jokes as your campaign can handle. Any power gamer will soon give up!
