I would not allow it because it ends up breaking the system within the first session. Players need very little incentive to have their PCs engage in killing in the first place. With that sort of reward, their PCs will be torching orphanages and nursing homes before the end of the first hour of play. Heck, if they are smart, they go after sport stadiums and poison the beer (I imagine that they could kill a thousand people or so, resulting in +50 ST pretty quickly).
