These million-and-one rules are in place to keep people from doing fun things like becoming invincible in all but name, and taking advantage of no standards ('berzerk allows me to attack a million times a turn! You are dead!' 'I am really hurt... I cast a low-level healing spell. Healing spells are more powerful when they are used in this type of combat, starting now. I am healed to full!').
I say round-robin style story. If you are concerned about the rules being too limiting, we could just abolish the battle system and have it all that kind of stuff done like in a normal story. I.E. 'Risp darts forward and slashes toward L_G, who just manages to dodge.' or 'Xion focuses, and flings a fireball out, which knocks Strato backwards into the wall.' This would work fine as long as people don't try to be invincible (i.e. they can be hit over and over and over without any damage, or they dodge everything effortlessly) and they don't get to ridiculous with their attacks (i.e. they destroy their opponent with a single flick of a finger without any chance of dodgeing). So we still might need a few (as in at most 5) rules... but better than what we have now, right?
