Karma

Karma is currently considered a beta test, and isn't fully implemented yet *Having a threshold allows some of the buggy counts to not ruin your rating
 * Karma's skill rating can go from 0 to 200, 100 being "neutral"
 * The perks display karma as -9 to +9 in terms of ranks
 * Murdering reduces your karma, but only above 10 murders*
 * Assaults reduces your karma, but only above 10 assaults*
 * Stealing reduces your karma only above 20 thefts* and above 110 skill**
 * Pickpocketing reduces your karma only above 20 pickpockets* and above 110 skill**
 * Eating corpses reduces your karma above 80 skill**
 * Sandman kills reduces your karma above 70 skill**
 * Completing quests improves your karma
 * More to come later...

**Some penalties only occur if you're already above a certain karma level (i.e. its not "evil" to steal for neutral karma, but if you're a good karma person it will lower your karma)

"Karma is currently not used for anything yet - mainly because it's not setup fully"
