Now this is [i]very[/i] interesting. How 'realistic' is the RP if we were to cut out the fantasy fluff? I don't assume we're going to be wielding Dark Souls level of ridiculous weapons, though I have no idea. I'm probably going to sign up for it either way.

Well, you know, I'm not the GM but considering some of the listed inspirations are Exalted, Berserk and the works of Robert E. Howard and that the GM has used level 10-19 D&D PCs as a starting ballpark level of a max of 20...I think it's a fairly safe bet that Dark Souls type weapons will at least be allowed if justified and marked as unusual.

A level 1 Exalt is [url=http://i.imgur.com/eRYZEsJ.jpg]essentially a demigod[/url], Guts is one of the [url=http://i.imgur.com/pcqXyBz.jpg]most recognizeable giant sword users around[/url] and Conan is perhaps the most down to earth of the bunch, yet [url=http://i.imgur.com/hUIPpsI.jpg]he still typifies the barbarian hero[/url] that fights off scores of men, survives being crucified for a day then tears himself off the cross and winds up becoming king by strangling the former ruler to death in his own palace. I think the GM is going for a rather high powerlevel, so to speak.
