There are some VERY high karma characters about.
I have heard quotes in the 700 region going about the list.
I don't have PC's above 250 myself, and have actually played only one
character with serious karma, i've had a few in one of my games over
200 though

NPC's get more 'out there' but some of the histoies are long and no
longer discussable here just in case players show up :)

I have heard of characters from games i have not played in well above
1000 (they long since lost track, the one i heard most about was
grade 16 last i heard, yes i said sixteen !)
There were over a year ago comments about an ex list memeber called
Ivy whos group reputedly had personal karma pools in the 300's
indicating >3000 karma.
I'm not saying i agree with such things or disagree, it depends on if
they earnt it and have the backgrounds.

But i doubt you have every skill in the book, theres something over
100 languages alone! :)
