Yes, but if I only intend for the character to be able to invoke the loa for whom they feel a personal attunement and after whose personality they pattern their own, that doesn't help much.

Nor is it a persuasive argument for the very high price for bonuses which one can invoke very rarely that you are paying a premium for flexibility that you don't actually have.

I did have a thought as I lay in bed last night, though, By the RAW, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with making an Alternate Form out of the Disadvantages and a few minor Advantages and then simply buying Extra Attributes as a Linked power that only works with Alternate Form and then limiting the levels of Extra Attributes as appropriate (the limitations total more than -80% no matter how you cut it).

That gets you a final result that is the same as paying the full 90% price for a very expensive Alternate Form, but without having to pay almost full price for bonuses which you can only use very rarely.

God woork. My next asuggestion was going to be Disadvantagious form but it has issues for what you want as well.
Good work on the Ogun writeups by the way.
