Unfortunately it's been my experience that the best combat muds do not support RP at all, not that combat and RP are mutually exclusive, but perhaps muds that focus on one tend not to focus on the other. Try checking out "Legends of Karinth', I've never played there but when I looked at it it seemed to have a good combination of combat and RP.
Now if you want combat, I second Angie, the best combat mud IMO right now is Godwars II, yes, somewhat the obvious choice, maybe there are others. Detailed character development and combat like this:
The centaur thrusts at you with the end of his spear.
You block his thrust with your tower shield.
You shoot a bolt of energy at the centaur, scorching his face.
You feel a surge of energy run through your right arm.
You snap your fingers with your right hand.
The centaur thrusts at you with the end of his spear.
You block his thrust with your tower shield.
You feel a surge of energy run through your right arm.
You close your right hand into a fist.
The centaur's heart erupts from his chest and flies to your hand!
The centaur's body goes limp.
The dead centaur crashes to the ground.
You strike at the air with your torn-out heart.
You take a bite out of a torn-out heart and start chewing.
Also I should add that combat uses a RT action-point based system, so you get some of the effects of turn-based games.
Btw I've looked for threads about different combat systems and never had much real success, let me know if you find something.
