Yes, but due to the fact that it is natural to them they do not receive the -2 dice penalty to all purely physical tasks.

Although if past editions are any indication, all dual-natured PCs missed the class in kindergarten where they teach the barghests, ghouls, and shapeshifters how to interact seamlessly in both worlds.

Stupid gimping...

Man, why the Hell do I still want to play a ghoul?

cite your source?

The 3rd edition Shadowrun Companion, p. 36. A player character with a dual nature can spend a simple action to astrally perceive (suffering the normal penalties for doing so), but can be attacked astrally all the time whether he's astrally perceiving or not.

---

Of course, those rules were incredibly bad, so will hopefully be completely ignored in subsequent publication.

Well damn Frank, I was going to jump down his throat for citing a SR3 document, but now I won't be able to. When vent and have to verbally abuse someone else the blood is on your hands. :P
