<snip fancy chipjack / skillwire setup>
:If you added in the DIMAP option you could
:potentially have a combat skill with a task pool and also be able to
:use combat pool. It's easy to create a beginning character who can
:throw 20+ dice on a single shot. This seems way out of line to me.

I'd like to see the math on that. That sounds like a HUGE chip, meaning
very expensive skillwires. Also, DIMAP increases Skillsoft avialiability
(+ rating), so the best a starting character can get is a DIMAP 2 skillsoft.
And when combinign multiple pools, I would not allow TOTAL pool dice over
skill rating- meaning no matter the souces, that rating 6 skill maxes out at
12 dice.
