OH YES THEY DO!
The average karma pool in the team is near 12!
And 8 team karma to boot!

On the contrary, prof rating for karma pool is what I call generosity on
my side! :)

I always try to get them against average opposition but I make up for
the weaker npcs
with tactical situation advantages (ambushes, surpise attacks, bigger
numbers,
ready reinforcements, delayed actions in support etc.)

It always pisses them off that they get their hoops kicked by inferior
guus with little cyber and no quickened spells! And they can't nag about
it either! :)))))))

and yes, they sometimes act stupid or suicidal!
they can go on for hours for the perfect plan (and usually do pretty
good)
but when they frag up, the drek makes direct contact with the
ventilator....
