But also because a Heroic Mortal will not tip the scales of balance.  But you have to come in ready for a few things.  First off, you will be much weaker than everyone else.  Maybe not at first, but it will happen.  I did a Heroic Mortal/Dragon Blooded/Lunar Game that was great.  Until the Lunar got involved, then the scale of combat got really weird.  That one character could have taken the entire party himself.  Inorder for him to be chalenged, the others were placed in a dangerous fight.  This will happen to you at some point.Second, the only in games ways for you to gain Charms is for you to Exalt (which we'll have to see if we need more power for that to happen) or one of the other players (or an NPC) would have to take two Charms and give you the ability to gain Essence.Once the game get to a certain point, you will have to pick your battles carefully.  There will be times when the opponents are designed for the more combat based exalts.  These characters should be able to take out a Heroic mortal without much thought, or I haven't done my job right.Also, though i'm confident Shayuri is still playing, until i see a character sheet there's no way to know if he will or not, then we'll have an opening for another exalt.So start thinking how you fit into the game best.  i'd prefer if you were already attached to another character.  The Dawn has a crap ton of Followers with him (unless you get rid of that Background Dogma)  Or if you had a strange enough background, you could be with the elmental dragon in the west.  Some of these guys are going to start off by themselves, and I have no problem with having two players together for a bit.  [/sblock]on to other stuff:  I can't imagine doing Exalted without a little bit of Deathlord, Demons, and Fair Folk, but we'll see how important they become to the "plot".  Keep in mind that on some level you guys are going to push your own plots.  if you want to fight demons, you'll know how to find them.  All i want to do right now is find a neat and compelling reason to get all you people from all over the world into the same room. Tiger Form is super cool.  I'll let you get away with one or even two Charms do to your Past Life Merit, but sooner or later you're going on a Sifu (Master) hunt if you want to learn more.</blockquote>
