It's not a competition.
This. There are two kinds of RP combat that most people use. The first is freeform, and the second is roll-based. If it's freeform, then you decide if your character is really susceptible to another's attacks, them doing attacks that might be considered wildly more powerful than your character's are up to you if they actually are effective or not, that is, unless the person tries to argue that their character's attacks are such that there's NO WAY yours could beat them. We call these people godmoders and tell them to eat shit accordingly.
Roll-based combat is just that. Left entirely up to the dice rolls. The details of the attacks themselves are just fluff. They can jump around and fly and throw fat cats all they like, but it's the rolls that decide everything, so yeah.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should show up to the Grindstone and start throwing fucking kamehamehas and sprouting angel wings and shit, but if dragoons, whose entire shtick have been the CHECK MY SICK FUCKIN JUMPS throughout the entire franchise are shown jumping high in a trailer, I think it's safe to say that they can jump like that in lore. What kind of vibe you'll give off if you just emote your DRG character jumping all around Ul'Dah, well, is on you.
And this is coming from somebody whose DRG character ICly hasn't pulled off a proper jump in the better part of a decade.
roleplay?
