How do you avoid powergaming in roleplay?: Metagaming is a term used in role-playing games, which describes a player's use of real-life knowledge concerning the state of the game to determine their character's actions when said character has no relevant knowledge or awareness under the circumstances.
How does metagaming disrupt fair roleplay?: Powergaming is the carrying out of unrealistic, unfair, or godly actions. This includes forcing emotes on other characters, whether inside or outside of combat, performing unrealistic physical or mental feats, such as a Halfling easily besting an Olog in single combat, ignoring the effects of a mental disability, or ignoring the effects of magic, and otherwise acting godly, such as being invincible and possessing unfair and lore-breaking powers.
If the player Ailan113 suddenly gave his character, or made a character with, godly and imagined powers, and then went and roleplayed this character as invincible and possessing the ability to insta-kill people by smiting them, Ailan113 would be Powergaming by creating a god-character.
