But not exclusively so. Orlanth demonstrates trickery, as both Desemborth and Niskis, while Heler has powers of transformation. Eurmal is, perhaps, the only major Heortling god that does both on a regular basis, though. (Unless I'm forgetting someone obvious).

I don't see why that shouldn't be possible. Trickster, I think, is about a particular sort of trickery (generally quite a dangerous one, at that), not just deception in general.
