OK little update

I am now not allowed to use geas on my adept powers, I was at first, but not anymore . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

Second if I take way of the artisan and walking the ways, could i get 50% of a power or don't they stack ?

Third, I'm really tired of my GM constantly having different problems with a build that is neither overpowered or silly, any ideas on how to best deal with this ? Or should I just scrap the entire idea and find another game to play in or something ?

you can't stack a given Way and Walking the Ways. The latter is for builds with unusal combinations. The Artistans Way really works as the Way of the Wheelman. He's a Car Artisan. Maybe give him Improved Ability (Automotive Mechanic) as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) and Knowledge (the Greatest Car Stunts)

Most mentors and most adepts? Not much.

The option is primarily there for Mystic Adepts (who can actually have spellcasting and summoning, which is where most Mentor Spirits give their bonuses), but there are also a few Mentor Spirits that give bonuses to mundane abilities (often a +2 to a skill, here and there).

Not all mentor spirits give bonuses to spells or spirit summoning.

H.B. Halicki:
"The Car Crash King", a popular choice of those Adepts taking "The Way Of The Artisan" with a view of it being "The Way Of The Wheelman", he advises those on how to properly wring every last bit of speed and power from their vehicles no matter what the cost.
Advantages: +2 to all Pilot Groundcraft tests, +2 to dice to resist stun and physical damage from collisions with vehicles and drones, including damage taken from being in said vehicle.
Disadvantages: H.B. Halicki never met a speed limit he liked that didn't involve a red line on the speedometer. Unless the Adept makes a Willpower+Charisma test (3), he cannot drive the speed limit or obey legal, or even polite, traffic rules. In addition, vehicles driven by the follower of H.B. Halicki often find their vehicles suffering extensive cosmetic damage, some of which appears should completely incapacitate the vehicle in question, but does not.
