All ascended races are not better off than normal races their weps cost 3x as much but onnly do 2x as much, they have to spend roughly 30% more on weapons to get the same result.
But need fewer Units to man said weapons, and therefore lose fewer Units in battle. The net saving is well worth it, especially when you start getting 15%, 20% etc bonuses and Ascended Blessing. Lots of factors contributing to make the Ascended races better in every sense of the word.
As far as the poll goes, I still say the suppression part of Option One is a good move. A month of having no Ascended bonuses or Ascended Blessing is pretty nasty if you think about it. Not asty enough though. To ensure that there is genuine long term damage, the bonuses from your last Ascension should be lost permanently
as well. We can assume that the Descended being sacrifices a part of itself to halt its fall back to the lower planes, and after a month has managed to restore itself in some shape or form, though somewhat diminished.
After what ever embarassing tag Forum has planned for the player's month of being powerless has faded, the player's previous Ascended title should be restored, at one rank below what it was before the Descension. This means that a new rank would be needed for a Prior that gets Descended. Someting like "teh ultimate noobzor"
