"COMBAT POOL" The Combat pool applies to all players in Shadowrun. The pool represents the extra attention a player gives to their offensive or defensive posture. The pool can be used to increase your chance of success in any combat related tests such as ^WPistols^n, ^WEdged Weapons^n, or any other similar tests. The Combat Pool is equal to a character's ^WQuickness^n, ^WIntelligence,^n and ^WWillpower^n divided by two, rounded down. ^WSee Also: POOLS, DEFENSE, BODY, DODGE POOL, BODY POOL^n
