I see an aspect of the rules that appear confusing. First under the skills section Astral Combat is linked to Willpower (pgs 111 and 113). Then on the Astral Combat section (pg 184) it says: "Astral combat is resolved in the same way as physical combat. Astrally perceiving and dual natured characters use their Physical attributes and skills to fight opponents with a physical body, and their Willpower + Astral Combat to fight wholly astral entities. Astrally projecting characters use their Mental attributes in place of Physical ones along with the Astral Combat skill. Their are no known ranged weapons that function in the astral space, so unarmed attacks, active weapon foci, and mana spells are the only options for astral combat." It also has Logic as replacing Agility when in astral space. So with this in mind do you still combine Astral Combat with Willpower? It lists Logic as replacing Agility, all other Combat Skills on the Physical plane use Agility as the linked attribute. If Logic isn't used to replace Agility, what will Logic ever be used for in astral space? To me it appears completely useless. Am I reading this right?
