It's Karma earned not just earned at one time. While what you do is a
good check on Karma Pool awards you might as well have Karma Pool awards
a separate thing entirely from Good Karma. Of course then you lose any
sense of comparative balance as characters are rewarded for two separate
categories. I still say it's better to trash the whole thing and go back
to first edition rules.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
