Hi All, I am playing a Adept for the first time and I want
to make sure I understand the Astral combat rules. My adept
has astral perception and mystic armor. The rules seem
pretty clear that on initiative and combat rolls he will use
his physical stats. My question is about damage. While the
adept is astrally percieving he is a dual nature being and
his damage would be str(m), correct?

Thanks, Eric
