make sure that your game's rules treat now your character's in action and this is what your character's action is as significant.

I love this explanation. Usually a system description is centered on one player, the one who is acting. You manage to show that the player(s) who will have to react to the action is/are as important in the picture as this now-acting player. They don't only react, they shape the present action resolution.
It may be something evident, but for me it's a real breakthrough.
