In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: powergaming is when some either focuses purely om on making their character as strong as possible neglecting any roleplaying parts or lore aspects they might have had. it could also be describe as someone making their character far more strong/powerful then they reasonably should be, such as a simple farmer character being able to crush a knights helmet with their bare hands. it can also sometime devolve into also just ignoring bad rolls because they believe their character is too strong to fail that action. it should be avoided mainly because it ruins the experience for other players and often leads to problems out of rp. it also can diminish the actions of other players such as if a bunch of players gathered for a tough battle just to have one person come in and wipe out the enemy on their own with their bare hands, all those players who were fighting as hard as they could suddenly feel as if their effort meant nothing.
In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: metagaming is using out of rp knowledge to ones advantage in character such as hearing someone say they hid a artifact somewhere ooc and then going their in character without tracking it down in character and just finding it. again it ruins the experience for other players by nullifying any effort they put in to something weather that be hiding something, covering their tracks during a robbery or even keeping secrets about their character.
