We've gone through this before, Grimoire 1st edition clearly states
no, 2nd rulebook forgets to consider it when it added the option
spending of force points on bonding, Shadowrun Companion has it in the
point based CharGen, and FASA says officially PhysAds get none. Why
people can still overlook all this is beyond me.
Trivia on 1st edition Archetypes. Those Characters with spell locks
were bonded with them using starting force points. Do the math for proof.
Argument note: From this precedent you can't say that FASA never
considered using those force points for anything but spells when Grimoire
1st was written.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
