[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 469935, member: 6533"] naw, I think constant growth is an aspect of life. I mean I've got a lot left to live in my own mortal coil, but my older friends and family seem to be constantly picking up new things. More importantly I would argue that characters who are constantly being written as PCs are should be constantly rewritten. Now, bearing in mind the DnD vs. Storyteller argument, which I do accept, I don't ask that humans be given Exalted levels of power and growth, just that they be complicated enough to be fun to play. Mortal Heroes in Exalted are pretty buff since most Exalted are so supposed to start out in that state. Even an elite soldier is a pretty hard cracker. My mine complaint is that they're too simple compared to Exalted and not simple enough compared to Feng Shui. A style thing I admit and I have no complaint when you are playing Exalted, just when you're trying to work a long term mortal campaign into it. On an unrelated note I really appreciate the classical myth feel of Exalted. Lots of infantry and city states and a flat world with dragons at its edges. Made me appreciate how little RPGs actually invest in the fantasy of the world itself. [/QUOTE]
