There's also a lot of variation in "human". The signature character in the Exalted webcomic is from a race of humans with panda-spots, no body hair, and they seem to be inherantly double-jointed. People can have pointy ears, vestigal wings, and extra arms, and still not be wyld tainted enough to...
Since the game design pihlosophy of Exalted favors defense over attack, it's be in keeping with that for the attacking player or GM to announce that attack as unparryable and/or undodgeable, and/or perfect before the attack is made, IF the defender is aware of the attack, or uses some means to...

I would tend to support Stillborn's poisiton, rather than memesis, for a different reason. The Great Curse is a taint upon the Exalted Spark. The Exalted Spark is the shard of Divine Essence that makes an Exalt more tham human, more than an animal, mor than anything merely mortal.
A Limit...
Limit breaks don't happen often in the games I play in, but more often in the games I ST in. My first group is moe into the epic heroics of an Exalted game, and the second group is more about telling a comprehensive, multi-layed hero story, complete with moral gray areas.
However, those few...
I had always operated under the assumption that the damage of a powerbow stacks with that of the arrow type being fired, which isn't at all shabby, for the aforementioned "reach out and perforate someone" reason.
