Critical strike is one of the skills in The Age of Decadence.
In the combat arts, as in most things, quality counts more than quantity. A single, well-aimed strike at a vital organ is worth a dozen superficial flesh-wounds. A wise fighter learns to maximize the effectiveness of each and every strike. Coincidentally, this knowledge improves your own defenses against such attacks.
