Under the way I view Astral Space and Dual Nature working, I totally agree TheOOB, but if someone were to rule that an Astral Being can pick up and move a Dual Natured Cat then I'd argue that my Ghoul should deal damage.

No, but a mundane could pick up a live Ghoul and start wailing on Astral beings with it...

You could push an astral form around with the ghoul, but not be able to damage it, you would need to use astral combat to damage an astral form.

Right. Astral forms displace each other, but they can't be bruised or cut or so forth. They're injured through an act of will, not physical force. A weapon focus doesn't injure an astral form by virtue of its shape; it acts to focus the will of the wielder. A Force 3 weapon focus penknife and a Force 3 weapon focus greatsword are equally effective in astral combat.


EDIT: Except, of course, I'm totally wrong. Was I on crack when I wrote this? Why did I think that the type of weapon didn't matter when using a weapon focus in astral combat?
