Right. Looking at it again, it says that
1) rerolling failures, avoiding the "oops", and buying more dice all
cost one point of karma pool, which refresh
2) for buying autos... you need to have gotten at least one success
naturally, and the point is burned for GOOD. Which is okay, and once
you get 50-60 karma, you can just use the 6 karma in your pool to roll
all your failures a couple times, and if that works, to buy an auto.
This might work out. Makes rolling well the first time important!

Good point. Although if you're wearing your armor longcoat, it's now
at 4S2, which (ouch!) is , on second thought, still pretty nasty.
