I saw this on the Camp Half-Blood roleplay wiki and realized that it's something we do too. Godmodding is basically when a one person part of a roleplay directly takes control of the other roleplay user's character's actions. For example, let's say it was Mason and Calla roleplaying. I can't say this: Mason levitates Calla up and throws her against the wall, then grabs a dagger and holds it against her neck, drawing a line of blood. I'm taking control of what Calla does and that isn't fair to her. To avoid it, as I read, we can use things like attempts to or tries so that Bea has the freedom to see how Calla would react. But I realized that some users might ake their characters OP (over-powered) and take absolutely no damage, so I think it would be a good rule to make sure that it is evenly balanced; a character could take a bit of damage yet still dodge another attack. So, if I were to avoid godmodding, it would be like this: Mason attempts to levitate Calla up and has a sword ready if he needs to do extra damage. It's a good thing to be cautious of and can make roleplaying a better experience.
