The reason for making it a gift rather than a bunch of techniques is... essentially just flavour at this stage of the roleplay. It's a reason for them to tackle combat like a wrestling match: in some ways, style over substance, and making it look good is more important than efficiency--and all of this actually [i]working[/i]. Mechanically, it's no different than just having signed up with a big guy in the first place, since it's not a 'use to buff' style thing.

In the long run, I guess it would be something like Beowulf's hype thing from Skullgirls, or any number of combo/chargeup things from various RPG's?
