This explanation might work for you. Sadly it doesn't work for me.

I does not really work for me either.

In fact, the setup stuff acually sounds cooler to me. I don't know how you would balance it but I think I would like it if fighters had many situational "at-will" abilities that a clever player could setup.

The one that I find works best for me is:

"Whew, that was tiring, and I think overexerted/strained [specific muscle X]. I'm going to have to rest five minutes/six hours before I can do that again."

Sadly, this does not really work for me.


Thanks.
