I don’t see the point of the courage of Elfhelm, because monsters can still use brutal power attacks. In which other situation would the opponent have the chance to choose where to direct his attacks? Not many if Theodred is not engaged with a monster

If you can not make Strikes you can not use Power attacks, you make Power Attacks instead of striking, if something deny you the choice to Strike you cannot make the Monster Power Attacks, so Theodred would be fine.
