But really, a fireball is ALOT easier to dodge than a fist. It is alot bigger and brighter and noticable.
Not so much.. .It's just a little bead of glowing bat guano before it gets to where it's going.

Still. *Chuckles.*

There are VERY few instances in which an emote can directly affect another character without damaging the RP... For instance, if Bob were to lean in to the very close-by Sally and steal a quick kiss (when Bob has 24 DEX), I think that's moderately reasonable (especially if Sally wants that kiss).

However, if Sally were to turn around and knife Bob for it, I'd think an attack roll would be in order.
