It all depends on the person who starts the RPG. The ones here are all free form RPGs. We don't roll dice and go by numbers to decide who does what.

What we do in those, is stay in character to whatever we have. If we know that Mikey is like so and so in a fight... don't suddenly say he can shoot fire from his hands and read minds too. Cause he can't do that. You have to be consistent with your character's fighting ablities.

Another thing with free form play... is that it's easy to come up with ALL powerful characters, since we don't have numbers to control the outcome. So the common courtesy, is to have weaknesses. To fail some fights. And to not Kill Off the other character until they say you can.

If free form RPGs are not your thing, then I guess you can come up with an equilivent. Since they don't have a rolling dice feature on these boards... it might be harder to play a fair dice game here. That's up to you.
