Signifiers for lag on bash. For example:

1 round - Bash sends you off balance
2 round - Bash knocks you to the floor
3 round - mighty Bash sends you flying
4 round - tremendous bash throws you through the air

Or something to that effect. If you wanted to keep some
unpredictability, you could have something like this.

1-2 rounds Bash knocks you to the floor
3-4 rounds tremendous bash throws you through the air

Something like that.
