Hi All,

No this may actually be written down in a book somewhere but I can't
remember ever reading it. When a bug spirit takes over a host body do
they retain that host bodies skills ? i.e. take over a magic user they
can cast spells ? Take over a decker can they access the matrix ? Know
the martial arts skills of the street sam they now live in.

Perfect flesh forms (the ones that get more successes than the host on the
opposed test) get their host's skills. I don't think this would allow them
to do magic, though everything else should be possible.
