What do you mean? Like the characters personality and behavior? If so than yes.

@amberprice: yes,bloodlusted,out of character are options in battles.

@jashro44: yeah like that

Of course. Silver Surfer, Martian Manhunter or Apocalypse are a good example. In-character behavior can change the tide of battle.

Yeah, because then you'd have people giving characters out of character strategies and potential just to have them win.

I'd say yes especially when discussing what a character is willing to do with morals on and some characters competency is tied to their motivation.

Absolutely
