If you are increasing your characters power to win, and not to enhance the story and the role play experience of those around you, then you are doing it wrong in my opinion.
Be humble, and always come up with at least one weakness for your characters. If you approach combat RP with that mind set, I think you will find your characters being more well rounded and fun to RP with.
One of the most rewarding things in role play is to create an engaging character that grows in power in the minds of others, one that gains respect through their actions, and not because you put a bunch of awesome attacks on a character sheet yourself.
