> Well, I always thought it would be neat to have a body partially composed of advanced nanites. The lil' buggers would always keep the body in tip-top shape; eating and sleeping would become unnecessary. Damage would be instantly repaired, and you could shape your body into weapons or armor as needed. You could also make a few copies of yourself composed entirely of nanites to work at a factory 24 hours a day so you wouldn't have to work. Not exactly heroic, but useful.

Oh coool. I could really dig the nanomorphing feature, an ability that's actually useful for once. So not only could I do my normal, boring trick of phasing from human to wolf, and from wolf to Spirit -- with New Advances in Nanomorph, I'd be able to zap from being a wolf into a whole flock of flying midnight ravens, say. Love it. *drool*

I'm a little fuzzy on at exactly what scale it becomes important, but I'd assume if the nanites had to rearrange the subatomic structure of atoms there would be a problem.

Well, you'd probably have to define what kind of nanite tech you're thinking of. Animal-organic or Mineral-robotic?
