Regardless if you're immune to Master/Stranger powers or not, you have a geas on you. A geas is a compulsion you must obey. You are aware of your geas and are not affected mentally by it, but if you try to go against the geas you won't be able to. It may make your body move on its own if you try to disobey. If your geas was to be a good person, then you would find yourself forced to do things that you felt a good person would do. The more specific the Geas, the more debilitating, impossible, and painful it is to resist. If the Geas is extremely general, such as to be a good person, you could get away with being an asshole or even petty theft with only some heartburn, but if it was something like not stealing, then if you tried to steal you'd find yourself paralyzed and feeling as if hundreds of red-hot needles were before forced into every nerve on your body.
