Ability Names that sorta make no sense, and what names do...

[Daralii]

Riposte - a counter-attack --> used as an opening thrust
Zwerchhau - a high horizontal "hewing strike" made with the false edge of the blade, usually to intercept and defeat downward diagonal strikes --> used as a Zorro signature
Redoublement - returning a line of attack to its position from before it was displaced --> thrusts lots
Diversion - The act of drawing the attention and forces of an enemy from the point of the principal operation --> reduces enemy's attention on... you, the diverting player...

Wouldn't Redoublement be more or less correct? Corps-a-Corps starts with the rapier at the center of the body, it's moved to pointing down and right by the end of Zwerchhau, and Redoublement moves it back to the center.

I've only ever seen the term used to describe a return from a displacement caused by the opponent. But I've never seen or heard of someone purposely leaving center line by such a large margin as they'd need to double back, let alone to attempt to cleave someone's thighs with a "foil" (an edge-less, ball-tipped training sword).
