[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 8416918, member: 59057"] No. It is not too powerful. Crits are randomly and only 1 in 20 or about 1 in 10 attacks with advantage. And then the trigger is quite random. And then at that level you have an ability to do 4d6 reroll 1's and 2's + 11 (and possibly also +10 due to great weapon mastery) and with the brutal surge we are looking at about doing about 38 * 2 damage anyway... and that is withou a magic weapon that might deal extra damage. At that level the weapon is probably +2, so 80 damage. What good is this ability? So actually limiting it to prof bonus per day makes it better, because then at least you feel good that you usually don't have to actually use it and save it for the rare circumstance that you don't deal 50 damage or more on the crit. Of course, you could be a sword and board slayer, but that seems counter intuitive, because if you want to really dish out damage, two handed weapons are the way to go. [/QUOTE]
