for critical thinking! That's how I see it; these are the cool stuff that a fighter pulls off in certain situations.

Comeback strike is my favorite example. It doesn't have to happen the same way, every time. In some cases, he picks himself up off the floor, wipes the blood from his mouth and says, "gimme some sugar".

In others, it's a wild strike that sends his enemy reeling back and the fighter hollars back to his allies, "It's not over, yet!"


Same with brute strike. Sometimes it's a heavy, crushing blow, while others it's a clean strike because the enemy left himself open.


I don't see any power working "exactly" the same way each time. Ideally, the fighter uses his same fighting stances, some strikes hit harder (brute strike), and some knock the guy down, where others seem to hit multiple people. It's all subjective.

You can even do the same wit a cleric or wizard. Magic missile doesn't have to be a "magic bolt of whatever". It's just a magical ranged strike. He can fling things telekenetically, launch magical globs of energy, or shoot lasers out of his eyes.

Lance of faith can be a blast of radiant energy in one strike, and a cacophonous holy word in another. So long as you don't change the mechanics, the fluff just has to fit with what your describing.
