It is considered a no-no to Roleplay another character's actions through your own actions. This is considered power gaming. If you are role-playing or dueling; it is best to say that you punch at the character, or thrust at them, or swing your blade at them - rather than saying that you hit them with your blade. There are a few exceptions, such as if you have spoken with the player of the other character before-hand, such as if you both had planned this as a "plot" or "event".
Example of powergaming: "Donovan throws a vicious elbow against Lionel's chin, shattering his jaw on impact and sending him sprawling to the floor."
Example of acceptable roleplay: "Donovan throws a vicious elbow toward Lionel's chin with enough force to shatter his jaw, send him sprawling to the floor, or both."
