hmmm...I have delt with this any yet, but... when determining karma
awards for "pedestrains" keep in mind the following:
1) The risk/ stress of the person's day-to-day,
2) The amount accomplished,
3) and possibly the impact of his/her actions.
As a basis OTOMH a chart would go something like this:
Security Guard would get 1 karma per week
Security Mage would get 1 karma per 3-4 days
Corp Suit would get 1 karma per week (high stress/large impact)
Wageslave would get 1 karma per 2-3 months
Mageslave would get 1 karma per month
Reseach Magician would get from 1 karma per month to 1 karma per 2-3
days depending on research.
Study (ie at a university, but not neccissarily) would increase rate by
x2 to x4 depending on workload
Coach potato would get 0 to 1 points of karma a year
This sound any good?
