How do you find the power point for a Physical Adept?

When we first played ( years ago ) in our niaveity we used the same points as
magi do: Tech\resourses Spens an a priority and get 50 or so. If the adept
had essense lose then it came off of his magic rating and the x amount of
points. as long as he had at least one fvull magic point left hae had most of
his original points.

But then recently ( still years ago ) we decided that was over-board and
began using whatever the adepts magic rating was. This caused a definate
drop in thier power level.

Did anybody out there make this same mistake?

Oh, dear. You used force points when buying Physad powers. <sigh> That is
probably the *worst* and most vague section of the entire SR2 book, and
no, you aren't the first or only person to make that mistake. I spent a
very heated argument with one player on that. He's on the list, perhaps
he'll tell you about it:)
