Outside the Matrix

As indicated, all rolls made outside the Matrix only use Skill dice, never Matrix dice. Chips work as they do in the computer world, however, with Matrix chips being the only way to roll a Matrix die, simulating amazing feats of personal strength. Uploaded skills are still available. However, the GM should resist making many rolls in this world, or indeed setting much of the game there. The Matrix is where all the cool stuff can happen, so keep the characters in there as much as possible.
