Indeed, I was not saying your characters weren't exploring the setting in a unique way, I was simply noting that you seemed to be disdainful of the current mythos and were using your status as the majority of applications as a reasoning around that. You seemed unwilling to recognize that an EDB system will cut straight through a plain metal sword, as established by how an EDB will cut straight through your plain metal armor. Swords aren't magically harder than armor unless they have a good reason to be.
