If you use Karma to buy a success, it's permanent
Generally burning karma, indicates buying dice, and according to the books,
is always permanent. If a GM doesn't make you lose the karma, s/he is
doing something wrong.
However, I'm a believer that if a player is willing to lose karma
permanently,
let them buy successes providing it doesn't create a huge imbalance in the
game.
After all, at 1 in 10/20/30/40 it's not that easy to come by.
Cheers,
Jon.
