It's a failing of mine, but I'll never be able to believe someone's able to take that sort of thing seriously.
And yet, Exalted.
Taking Exalted seriously is the first step to not enjoying Exalted, I've found.
My sticking point (hee hee) with dragoons jumping on man-sized targets is that it just seems... Well, too convenient. The same exact skills they can use on giant, devouring monsters (dragons are BIG!) are the same skills they can use on a lalafell, to the same (far more effective, actually, if you compare a lala's mass to Isgebind's) effect? The dragoon official page specifically says they've mastered an aerial style to combat dragons, leading me to believe they use those flashy moves on aerial targets, not ground-based opponents. That's what the lance is for.
This is coming from someone who openly has mentioned his character has trouble adjusting to lalafell-sized opponents, so it's probably just me being a snob. I'll wear that badge, though. The "I am trained to fight every single foe effectively" trait isn't one I can put on my characters.
...unless it's Exalted, because then I'm using Crashing Wave Throw to beat my enemies with smaller, lesser enemies and then throwing them all into the sun. Aah, Exalted. <3
