Alright. Here's my issue. And yes, this will make the game arguably less cool. The strength table in Exalted is way out of whack. Why is the difference between st+ath 11 and 12 tiny? Why, when a yeddim is larger than an elephant, is it harder to lift an elephant? Why do none of the numbers of pounds given make any sense? This is my attempt at a revision, although it does downgrade the power of strength based characters a touch at the lower levels. Now, I have a character with str 8, athletics 4, and soon, if I ever get experience, Thunder's Might and Ten Ox Meditation, with a willpower of 6. Thus, 36. Because those charms quite pointedly do not cap at attribute+ability. Sweeeeeet. So I need some Cascade of Cutting My Ship. | Alright. Here's my issue.

Rules: Beyond 18, the amount that one may lift is equal to the previous level x 1.2. The strength in pounds is what one is capable of lifting. One is capable of moving at full speed carrying one third of that value, and can throw one third of that value. No idea what sort of range that should have. Note that this is the value in pounds, not the Strength + athletics.
Alright. Here's my issue. And yes, this will make the game arguably less cool. The strength table in Exalted is way out of whack. Why is the difference between st+ath 11 and 12 tiny? Why, when a yeddim is larger than an elephant, is it harder to lift an elephant? Why do none of the numbers of pounds given make any sense? This is my attempt at a revision, although it does downgrade the power of strength based characters a touch at the lower levels. Now, I have a character with str 8, athletics 4, and soon, if I ever get experience, Thunder's Might and Ten Ox Meditation, with a willpower of 6. Thus, 36.
