I'm currently running the game as GM while following all the events from SR Timeline. I have nearly the full collection of books (but yet not read them all ofc).

So as i'm into the Harlequin/Bug City arc, I play with SR3.

But the recent topic about Edge and Karma made me think that Karma Pool will soon snowball out of control.

Is there any house rule about it that is commonly considered as good? I would have gone for 1st point at 10, 2nd at 20, 3rd at 30 and so on, but it would be too harsh for metahumans if it was 1st at 20, 2nd at 40... and not balanced if it was 1st at 20, 2nd at 30.

Hard capping pools isn't an idea I like neither.


Maybe something like: 1 to 5pts every 10/20 karma
6-10pts: every 20/40 karma
and so on?


Thought?
