Garthanos
Arcadian Knight
Some powers seem very mundanely named like say a Cleave interestingly I have heard far more flowery named maneuvers in real life Hema texts from the knight era than many we have for the fighter. Others like Steel Serpent Strike sound closer to authentic.
I have a couple I named Twisting Disarm and Smashing Disarm. Which are rather mundane. Surgical Strike (which requires you to be trained in healing) may be a little better but I think maybe "Bite of the Chiurgens Blade" could be better.
To me one of the advantages of the flowery language is it doesn't imply your method of accomplishing the thing is generic. A barbarians Smashing Disarm might not cause them to grant advantage when using it and have Barbarian/Bezerk clauses. So naming the fighters ability "Brazen Reaving of Steel" ... could be an idea and sounds more disciplined/sophisticated perhaps.
I just had an epic image of Sauron like knight swinging ones huge two handed weapon and disarming a number of lesser enemies with one sweep. (and realized a multi-target attack defeating a bunch of enemies could be visualized that way just fine)
Anyway
