How do you avoid powergaming in roleplay?: I imagine my character as myself: a human. What he can do is what i feasibly can. I can walk, use a hoe, an axe. I cannot force someone to die on the spot, or read other people's minds. Therefore, my character cannot do that. If the rules explicitly say I can do something I otherwise couldn't (as a normal being), i'd be more careful than usual whilst using such resource, while trying to mantain good roleplay.
How does metagaming disrupt fair roleplay?: My roleplay experience mainly comes from Dungeons and Dragons. And I've had my fair share of players metagaming, and it simply ruins the fun, because it takes the essence of roleplaying and throws it in the trash. The metagamer is coming out of character basically, whilst trying to pass it off as in-character, which makes absolutely no sense, and turns the interaction upside down because the other players (who are not metagaming) will have less agency than him, simply because he's doing something that shouldn't, making it unfair.
