What I'd add is that, while you determine how your own character is impacted by others, it's important to make sure other characters have reasonable options. For example, if I were to send out some kind of attack that could not reasonably be avoided, even though I didn't say that anyone got hit, I don't give anyone a chance to avoid getting injured. It's sort of a passive form of god modding. Just FYI, there are quite a number of powerless humans in the Bar, as well as Andalites and Hork-Bajir who have little more than natural defenses.
As far as GESB rules go, I'm sure Scinlao is taking good care of you, but I'd be remiss if I didn't point out
these guidelines.
