So I let my friend talk me into playing Exalted and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I know he likes systems that let you build characters with godlike powers, and that's not really my thing. However, I want to give Exalted a fair go, so what should I know to make sure I'm getting the full experience and not a half baked, misleading campaign?

I'm playing a Night with Open Hand and Ranged, whatever that means.
