Greetings brethern,

first of all, I am happy as hell about the new "Radical" Design Diary. I hope that until we get greeted with the book itself, they will now keep focusing on "rules, fluff & stuff".

However, one point sticks out to me. The host body does not seem to have any relevance for the creation of the host.

Yes, you need to have one.
Yes, this already true for "the old rules"

But imagine someone manages to capture an ogryn or simply a catachan IG renegade. But all he is able to get forced into the body is an unclean spirit.
Suddenly, all of this muscle isn´t working anymore at all. Do not get me wrong, the other way around is quiet fine.... but this seems...odd.

I think it will simple be a case of there being a paragraph saying something like if the GM feels it fits then the Daemonhost may retain any characteristics of the host rather than having a set of hard and fast rules for it. If it doesn't say that there is nothing stopping you from doing it anyway, Daemons are creatures of the Warp and there is no way of predicting how they will act in the confines of a Daemonhost so it makes sense if the rules governing thier creation are fairly loose, there shouldn't be a defined way of how a Daemonhost must be generated in my opinion.
