After reading the Shen Preview again, I'm curious about how you guys are handling shapeshifting as a divine power.
We already know that the Theoi are getting a PSP that's all about changing form, so all of their many transformations are covered under that, one assumes.
What about other Pantheons that don't get access to that PSP? As I read the Shen Preview, I saw the parts talking about Erlang and Sun Wukong's transformation duel. Now Sun Wukon, of course, has the Trickster Calling, and it would make sense for at least some of his transformations to be something from there. But Erlang? I don't see anything in his list of Callings or Purviews that seem to explain his ability to shapeshift.
How does he do it? Does the Shen PSP also cover shapeshifting? Do some gods just have unique powers that don't necessarily have to apply to their list of powers? Does the Purview system retain 1E's rule of being able to purchase Boons out of order, so he just has a few Boons from other Purviews, without having those Purviews at Associated levels?
