There is only 1 section covering the quality karma, which I quoted. It is very clear an explicit mention is missing. I do not understand why you insist on claiming the quality karma bypasses chargen rules, when there is nothing supporting that interpretation.
Hmm, I have not insisted that quality karma bypasses chargen rules for the 50 customization karma.
I was unsure, so asked the question.
When you answered without a reference to the rules while mentioning intent, I sought further clarification (cause I have missed a few rules, due to them not being found in a spot that I find/found intuitive, and I have not yet read all of the entries on SR6 on these forums). I was/am trying to further my knowledge of SR6, both RAI and RAW.
I also seem to recall that in another thread, you mentioned that there was nothing in the rules about having to spend some or all of the 50 customization karma (as there is with Nuyen), so you brought the idea that someone could take that karma out of chargen, then spend it however they wanted (perhaps on spells after buying the formulas?).
So, once again, trying to get a better understanding of the rules as written and intended. And am seeing what could be conflicting responses in different threads. So I ask questions.
Based on the responses in this thread, my take on this is that there is no clear rule on it, but most folks are of the opinion that karma gained from qualities can only be spent on what is listed in the section on 50 customization karma. And that there seems to be an expectation that the next errata will likely address this.
