I've been looking, and can't find an answer (or even if it's been asked / clarified). Does the activation of one's bloodline power cost 1 or 2 Eldritch Pool points?
Under "Bloodline," it says"To use any ability that normally functions when he's in a bloodrage, an eldritch scion must spend 1 point from his eldritch pool." However, under "Eldritch Pool," it says, "As a swift action, he can spend 1 point of eldritch energy to enter a state of mystical focus for 2 rounds. This allows him to use abilities from his bloodrager bloodline as though he were in a bloodrage, though he gains none of the other benefits or drawbacks of bloodraging." So, do I spend a point to enter a Mystic Focus, then another on the next round to use a bloodline power (that can now only last for one round, because you can only spend one point per round)? Or is the phrasing referring to the same Eldritch Pool point?
I really, really want to like the Eldritch Scion. But it's so poorly written. I almost feel as though it would have been better done as a variant class (a la Samurai or Ninja) that mixes Fighter and Sorceror, rather than Fighter and Wizard, than as an archetype.
