Can a Possessed Creature benefit from Personal Spells cast by the Possessor

[mctizic]

Can a player with the Cancer Mage (Disease Form ) ability or Fiend of Possession (Possess Creature) go inside another player and use Personal spells. "I told him that the Personal spells or Psionic Powers only works on himself and he says since he's inside the second player and part of them it counts as Self on second player because he's inside second player. I disagree. What do you guys think."

I just dealt with that in pathfinder, and the answer there was yes, it does.
Dunno about 3.5 though.

So he may be right!

Going by familiars and animal companions I would say no, there is nothing saying that it is allowed so it is not.

Their argument: "While possessing an object, a fiend of possession can use any ability it has that requires no physical action, such as using a spell-like ability or telepathy. It cannot cast spells (since it can neither speak nor move), attack physically, or perform any other physical action, until it reaches a high enough level to make the possessed object perform these tasks for it.

So that should apply to the creature they posses?"

Those are rules for possessing an object, not a creature.
