[QUOTE="thecasualoblivion, post: 6881306, member: 59096"] Im a little hesitant on the subject of Exalted. I played some 2nd Edition Exalted and mechanically that system was an utter disaster. So much so it kind of soured most of the people I gamed with on Exalted, and I'd have an uphill battle getting anyone else interested.

Looking at the 5E PHB, characters don't seem to get there before double digit levels, if at all. AKA, before 5E I was able to get the D&D aesthetic/feel I wanted just fine.
