Exal/Exal2 Question about power levels
I have not actually seen the second edition. so this may have been made more obvious there. however, i have always wondered after my first glance through the first edition about the power levels of exalted characters.
from what i remember, the characters are supposedly demi-gods or something (could be wrong as it's been a long time since i looked at it). are they capable of feats more impressive than the other systems' characters (werewolf, vampire, etc)? are they more powerful in combat scenarios? the impression i remember is that they are not. could someone more knowledgeable please elaborate and satisfy my curiosity? i've always wondered since i first looked at the book and never had opportunity to play.
