How big is a Bladebound Magus's arcane pool at levels 1 & 2?

[Todd Morgan]

I assume they have normal progression until they get to 3rd level, unless I am reading something incorrectly.

It's irrelevant, since whether they gain one point per two levels or one point per three levels, the pool has a minimum of 1. So it's "1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, ..." normally, and "1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, ..." with the archetype.

Isnt it 1,1,1,2,2 normally and 1,1,1,1,1,2,2 with bladebound?

Min. 1

tesailion is right. As a bladebound magus, you don't get your second point of arcane pool (by virtue of class levels) until level 6.

The modification to your arcane pool affects you for your entire life, even before you 'acquire' the blade itself.

incorrect, but the point is moot since you have 1 point (from class) at levels 1 and 2 no matter what

You're right. I was misremembering. Thanks for catching that.
