Gonna have to agree with David here- it seems like Exalted really is cursed anymore. Every developer who gets their hands on it misses the forest for the trees. Almost unilaterally, they get hung up on useless minutiae, and just SKIP the important details to worry at trivia like a dog on a bone. They still haven't made a Venture system that works for 3E, naval combat still barely works, and yet they devote an entire CHAPTER to marm the reader about "how" to enjoy this game.
