One view on "martial" abilities is that they aremagic (just like in Earthdawn). The entire "moxie" thing of hit points, the ability of mortal man being able to engage a dragon or a humanoid 10 times your size in melee, they all don't describe something mundane occurring, and can you really explain this with mundane skill? Martial Powers are like the wires used in movies like Matrix. They are invisible (in movies they are simply edited out), but they allow you to perform moves that normally wouldn't be possible. I am looking forward to Redbricks 4E Earthdawn. Did Exalted 1e have a different cosmology then Exalted 2e? Because I found the description in 2e not similar. But maybe we are looking at different parts?</blockquote>
