It makes the effect of Dex significant but discourages totally dumping Str for most characters. In effect, Dex operates as very solid supporting stat for all classes except for the rogue, who it effectively remains the primary stat for due to the nature of their attacks. A Dex based fighter/monk/etc. is still playable, though they will be suboptimal if they dump Str too much. Barbarian's efficacy is increased substantially with Brutal Critical, but it's also important to recognize what Barbarians have to give up to have a very high Dex, particularly since they are strength based but don't use heavy armor. Still, this may require tweaks.If this shows to be too powerful in play, one possible fix would be to go back to requiring a confirmation attack roll. Though, it's important to keep in mind what most classes have to give up to achieve a 20 Dex (HP, AC, Tactics, Sanity/Perception, Reknown, etc.). I expect this to be primarily a flavor choice, and will test various balancers until I'm satisfied.</blockquote>
