Bold Recovery -> Action Point Reroll
Brazen Action -> Lower Defenses
Unburdened -> Ignore Armor Penalty? Suppress Armor Penalty? Skill Surge?
Going for Broke -> Actually, I like this name; High Stakes would also be appropriate. Double Success would be more obvious though.

Second what he said. We do the same in my group. If I said Bold Recovery, they'd stare at me blankly until I said "AP reroll."

It's like all those flash interfaces you'd see on websites a few years ago - they were really creative and neat, but most of the time people will take simple, clean, and obvious over creative and obscure.
