I'm sure i'm just missing this in the book, but...
Can an PhyAdept use their spell pool just like a mage? I ask this because it occurred to me that a PhyAdept, without any powers that cause drain, could declare that their whole spell pool is, now and forever, allocated to spell defence. sorta makes them spell proof. |

Adepts only get a spell pool if they are Path of the Mage adepts. At that point, they can use spell pool for anything their heart desires.

I'v read through the book and i don't find where it says who dose, and who does not get a spell pool. only that it is (willpower + int + magic)/3, round down. |

well, i would think the first word under the heading "Spell Pool" on page 180 should clarify it a bit... "spellcasters have a special dicepool called the Spell Pool..."
Since adepts don't "cast spells", they're not "spell casters", thus no dice pool, except the aforementioned path of the mage adepts... |

Then, by your logic, mundanes get it to. Since their Magic = 0, you just have Will + Int and divide it by 3. Oo-la-la! No more worrisome spellcasters to bother your Street Sam with Willpower 1! |

Mmm
as an unawakened the highest spell pool one could have would be 4, and since it's round down it can* be 0. thought 2 would be more the norm. i dont think i'd take a spell pool 2 as a bomb shelter. I'm more seeing Wile E. Coyote trying to stop a falling bolder with his parasol. but!, that dose not matter. the spell-caster quote from pg. 180 clears things up. if you can't cast spells you can't counter one. |
