Metagame 'tricks' in GURPS?

Potentially interesting idea — jargon copied from Shadowrun 2ed, mechanics copied from Consumable Signature Gear:

Karma Pool(5/level)
You have a pool of [Level] karma points. Each session, these refresh to full. You can spend a karma point from this pool in place of a character point to activate a transient rule like Influencing Success Rolls.

This way, a character who regularly uses such rules sacrifices a larger amount of power once, instead of a smaller amount of power on an ongoing basis. Other characters can still spend a smaller amount of power once to dip into the rule.
