(Ridiculous example, +20 to hit vs. defense score of 80: just about everyone else hits 5% of the time (no crits possibe), normal avengers hit 9.75% of the time (no crits possible), and--under the more liberal interpretation of the rules--Ardent Champions would hit 14.25% of the time and crit 4.75% of the time.I'm not saying it's broken, but it seems peculiar, to say the least, that Ardent Champions can hit so much more reliably and crit what no one else can.Just something more to think about in this crazy head of mine... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />(And I need to type faster or type more succinctly.) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
