The feel is very "Bronze-age" and rather gritty, although the rules don't really support that. Combat is the only thing with any serious rules support, but tries to support non combat-focused games in a very wishy-washy sort of way. Later 1st Edition: As more supplements came out more of the game was refocused on a more "gonzo" feel, with lots of styles and genres mixing together. The power-levels of characters sort of creep up, although several bad supplements with wonky rules make the trend hard to judge.
The extra levels of detail on some places in the setting make a lot of players feel that there is no longer a "wide-open" feel which they remember from before. Mechanical support is added for social characters, something the game sorely needed, but the overwhelming majority of attention is still devoted to combat.
The character sheet in the book is nigh unusable as it lacks spaces for the majority of a character's calculated stats. Early 2nd Edition Supplements: A series of supplements screw the rules up pretty badly, whilst a few manage to be both good and useable. The gonzo elements from late 1st Edition make a very visible appearance early on since the supplement on magitech is the first to be released, whilst the supplement on ordinary artifacts and suchlike is much later in the line.
A series of changes are made to the setting -- some mostly improvements like Lunars , others deeply problematic and based on writers who appeared to not understand the way things were previously, or even what was written elsewhere in the same book. Some lip-service is paid to non-combat rules, but very little. The character sheets in the books are nigh unusable as they lack spaces for the majority of a character's calculated stats.
Current Era: The creative team has been replaced with a new set of writers. Far more mechanically ept than those before they're in the process of slowly patching the biggest mistakes in the earlier releases in the form of extensive errata. In addition they're producing new rules and setting material of their own. The new setting material is mixed and controversial -- the writers have definite ideas about the direction of the setting which not everyone agrees with but most would agree its an improvement over previous writers who appeared to have no idea about what direction the setting was going in.
The new combat-related rules material is generally very solid, though often rather complex. The new non-combat rules support is practically non-existent. Others may disagree, but that's my feeling on the matter. In first Edition Magitech and the over the Gonzo style scientificism approach to magic in general wasn't as big. Magic was a mysterious force and not just a replacement for Science.
What I mean by this, is basically the more Exalted went on, the more the first age became a Science fiction setting more then a fantasy setting, with the Sci-Fi being replaced by Magictech. You had genetic manipulation, the internet, cloning, air travel which was more akin to spaceships which happened to move through the sky rather then magical airships, Giant Mecha popping up all over the place.
It really tonally changed quite abit. Some of this led to some of the more bizarre setting changes like Install the app. JavaScript is disabled.

I've bought most of the 1st edition Exalted books, mostly because i liked the art and loved the 'feel' of the setting. I still haven't read everything and most of what i've read is background 'fluf' yeah, so i buy more then i read, sue me ;- , i've never played a game of it though.
First: I recently came across the situation that i was able to DM a game of Vampire the Masquarade in this case , but didn't have anything prepared nor was i sure that i would have the time in the future to continue to prepare for the game sessions. While trying to find the inspiration to conytinue were the previous DM left off, i came across Exalted again and suddenly felt the urge to pick it up and prepare an Exalted campaign, in the silent hope it would inspire me for Vampire or if that failed have a backup in place that might apeal to my friends.
Because we all have rather bussy lives we tend to communicate through our website, so a lot of character building an prelude telling can be done there.
I will give them a general overview of the game think the free introductionary kit to get them hooked and a specific taste of the start of the campaign. So how would i get Exalted newbies started with Exalted withouth them reading pages of gaming material to make a character?
Second: I've read good things about the second edition of Exalted, especially the streamlined rulesset. While the 2nd edition is in full color, i think the 1st edition is graphically more appealing i find the use of color not consistantly strong in the book.
And forasmuch as our method, and manner of expressing our sentiments, in this, doth vary from the former although the substance of the matter is the same we shall freely impart to you the reason and occasion thereof. We must not miss these words. Now, if the two confessions have a different theological perspective, these men are guilty of an untruth.
But think about how unlikely that is: 1. Some of them were the same men, who knew what they believed throughout these years. Some of the churches were the same churches, in which it is not unlikely that some of the members, as well as the officers, were the same people. There was a public record that could be consulted in order to determine the truthfulness of this statement.
Everything points to the veracity of this statement. Anything less is at best a misunderstanding, and at worst a misrepresentation, of 17th century Calvinistic Baptist theology.
Daniel Featley left no stone unturned in seeking to prove that the Particular Baptists were heretical. If the best heresy-hunters of the day did not find differences on these issues, how can we? It is a mistake to assert that there are theological variances between these confessions. Simply because the Confession does not highlight and emphasize these things does not mean that it, and the men and churches who issued it, held a view distinct from the latter Confession.
The differences can be simply explained in terms of the documents used to construct the Baptist statements. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.

Clerics, Priests, and Druids. In both games, both cleric and druid are presented as a core class. Psionics In 1E, psionics are in the core rules, in an appendix, relatively unchanged from their Original Edition version in Eldritch Wizardy Supplement 3.
Lesser changes The specific modifiers for attack rolls have changed. Specific entries for the XP earned by non-combat methods. Many monsters have changes, sometimes extensive and substantial. Especially Dragons. Baatezu and Tan'ari are demons and devils. So what's the same??? The basic mode for magic is still the same, and is still spells per day. Bottom Line 2E is a different game from 1E, but shares much of the heritage.
Improve this answer. The last sentence raised an eyebrow: a bit of disbelief, but more curiosity.
