I do. I've had one person use it for only one point...They raised
Intel to 7 (human). No one else wants to spend the Karma. I think
it accurately shows truly extraordinary people. I view the 1-6
thing as the average distribution...Body 6's aren't overly common,
but there isn't a shortage of buff guys (and gals). Body 7's and
8's are pretty rare baring augmentation, but they're out there....and
If a player wants to dedicate the effort (i.e. Karma), I see no
reason to stop them. I'd block it if it became a munchie problem,
but no such problem yet.
