How do you avoid powergaming in roleplay?: Metagaming is like placing your knowledge into your character's brain. Suppose there is a battle or a scuffle in a neighboring village and your character is in a separate town. In that case, there is no possible way they could've known about the situation unless another character has told them. Or, if your character doesn't know a particular language and they don't know what it says but you, the player, know what it says, your character has no way of knowing its meaning.
How does metagaming disrupt fair roleplay?: Powergaming is your character making drastic, perhaps even life-altering decisions for another player. You must ask permission to make such changes or attempt to do said action. Say you want to slice someone's arm off but the other character may wish to keep their arm. You cannot make that decision for them. Another is staying in character. If your character is a child, then they cannot lift a large rock or run at high speeds. The same goes for an elderly character. This also applies to powers. You must have some weakness and cannot be "unbeatable." It's simply not fair to other roleplayers.
