Is there errata for godlings/demi-gods?

In general, but specifically, I'm interested in Godling Powers 9 & 10, the Super-Psionic Powers or Magic Powers and available PPE/ISP.

Powers
► Show Spoiler
Does the Burster PCC or magic OCC abilities include that OCC's P.P.E. or I.S.P.?

Godling:
► Show Spoiler
If so, would that be in addition to the godling's P.P.E. or I.S.P., listed above?

Demigod:
► Show Spoiler
If so, would that be in addition to the demigod's OCC P.P.E. or I.S.P., listed above?

For myself, I'd say yes, the abilities do include P.P.E./I.S.P. from any OCC chosen. That makes the character more powerful than your average spell caster or psychic, but these ARE divine beings. They're supposed to be powerful.

In the case of the Godling: It says right in power #9 Or a Burster. They would have all the powers of a Burster. But not the ISP/PPE, that would retain the Godling's PPE/ISP. Power #10 says that the character has all the abilities of the chosen practioner of Magic. So yes all abilities but PPE would be per Godling.

Demi-God: This is where it get's tricky. If the chosen OCC is not a mage or Psychic then RAW it is unclear. If the Demi-god is playing a Mage or Psychic OCC they get the OCC's PPE/ISP + the listed bonus. If they are not it is unclear as to whether they would get the Mage/Psychic chosen PPE.

What have I done in the past when dealing with the Demi-God and the player chose one of those two powers and is not playing a Psychic or Mage OCC is to give them the Super Spy ISP or PPE depending on whether they chose Psi or Magic. They would also get the +4d6 to the ISP or PPE depending on which power they chose.

That is just what I have done in the past. And would probably be how I do it were I to run a game now.

This does make sense in a way but I am not sure that I would run it this way but that's just me. Though I could see myself being talked around to doing it this way.
