Then you can do enough damage to ignore anything but crazy armor. Even then, at lower levels, Onslaught is whats really dangerous. Doesn't matter how much soak you have if someones always guaranteed at least 4 dots of damage a hit. Though if it was an exalted game, i'd prefer solar/celestial levels. I don't like Dragonblooded.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Essence level 4 takes quite a long time to reach if done properly. Also, it takes extreme amounts of experienced poured into play. Either way, this could inch toward bad things if it turns to a system debate. Suffice it to say, I'd probably limit it to Dragonbloods if I did run an exalted game, at-least for my first. That cuts out any power gamey issues being discussed here.
