Or, is it more of a "I say I do this" and then you, as the GM, go like: "this is the result of your [i]attempted[/i] actions"? in your next post?

dat one!

I'm okay with minor things, since the NPCs aren't meant to be invincible Mary/Gary Stus and won't be as "stand out" by and large compared to the PCs, but don't just auto-wreck them in one go. If there's exchanges of blows without waiting for GM input, make it narratively interesting.
