Message: <blockquote data-quote="Imaro" data-source="post: 3835283" data-attributes="member: 48965">What game are you taling about?  There is no level drain in Exalted (in fact there's no levels period)...I think perhaps before you make such bold comments in such a broad context you should...perhaps read and understand the playstyle of Exalted.  Just a suggestion, because it seems alot of people in this thread are applying D&D=Exalted...and it really doesn't.  The tone, mechanics, gameplay, etc. are fundamentally different.  If I play a game like Dragonquest (never played it but going by what you posted) the rules and my play experience reinforce that playstyle...Exalted reinforces and promotes the demi-god badassery style and it seems the GM wanted to punish the player for being exactly this.  Second an artifact in Exalted =/= just another sword, especially if you spent your character points on it (some of which could have been used to buy more charms, better abilities, etc.)  IMHO, it was always a style preference rather than just an item...you know you didn't put those bonus points in Martial Arts(even though a GM can't take this from you) because you have a concept you want to play and that item is part of it.  Otherwise just go for the things that can't be taken away from you (in other words sacrifice your concept so the GM can't exploit you because of it.) it's apparently a safer bet.Like I said earlier...it's great drama if yo get your artifact back, if not it's a sucky GM.  YMMV</blockquote>
