I would think that's more character decision than anything. You could
have a character who decides to retire after making X bucks, or who
gives up after getting 10 karma pool. I think that everything should be
based on how fun it is to play with the character. I would think that
having a karma pool of 60 whould kinda make the game boring.. each
combat for it to be challenging you're need to be up against 10x the
normal numbers of bad guys just to make it challenging... ("Oh what's
that? 31D damage with 16 successes against me? Well I guess I'll just
make myself reroll until I stage it down to nothing.. soo much for that
nuclear blast":) I would have to say it's a player/GM decision that's
variable for the situation.
