There may be a direct answer to this but I am bookless right now at the salt mines and so, I apologize if this is obvious.
Place a TM in an UV node, what happens? In UV nodes you look like yourself, OK, most TMs look like themselves so that part isn't a big deal. The characters real world skills come into play. What does this mean for hacking? Can you still hack the same inside the node? Can TMs bend everything the same inside the node? Since half my player are TMs you think I would know this but I don't BlueMax |

Sprites and agents will appear as something conforming to the setting of the UV node. So yeah, if your GM decides you're Dorothy and this is Oz, that's your toto in the handbasket there. Beware the munchkins!

This can quickly become confusing if hacker has to use firearms skill he can't use his attack program now or can but at default. Damage codes for programs? How many init passes in UV, real life or augmented? No analyze....perception? Finding data in UV node requires a physical search? Can you get Admin access in UV node? Systems rated at 10+ and UV'd really limit a hackers abilities. Section in unwired and every other mention really for UV nodes have always been short.
EDIT: As a side note Unwired did a better job then past versions but I would have like to have seen a clearer picture for some of the interactions. |

Heath,
Were you referring to UV nodes? or to TMs in UV nodes? If the second, please list a page. BlueMax |

I think Brainscan featured a special rule for the boss fight against Deus in the end and the whole UV host prelude. A decker could use half his computer rating to make any skill test. You could adopt that.

At our house it was "unlicensed contractor built the roof" (previous owner shenanigans) and lasted two weeks (from October to June*). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Or: We decided to remodel. Parents had to live in a camper trailer. *I honestly don't remember the dates |

Our house stands in a flood area and we never went into a hotel. We love to sit in the first floor (second floor for the US i think) and play games while one meter below you flows the most beautiful river of europe.
