How do you avoid powergaming in roleplay?: Metagaming is a phrase used in role-playing games to characterize a player's use of real-world knowledge about the state of the game to decide their character's actions when that character lacks relevant knowledge or awareness in the circumstances. This might apply to storyline details in the game, such as mysteries or events that occur outside of the character's control, as well as mechanisms in the game, such as abstract statistics or the precise boundaries of powers. Metagaming is an example of "breaking character," since the character makes decisions based on facts they don't have access to and hence wouldn't make in real life.
How does metagaming disrupt fair roleplay?: Powergaming (also known as power gaming or optimization) is a method of interacting with video games, board games, and role-playing games with the purpose of maximizing progress toward a specified goal. When done to the exclusion of all other concerns, such as storyline, mood, and friendship, other players may find this disturbing.
