Reduces the quality of criticals by 30%, the opposite of Better Criticals. It's never worth getting for HtH characters, because you will raise your skill high enough so that you can make targetted attacks to the head or eyes, raising your critical chance, and as far as the math goes, the bonus...

You can still go into the character screen before boosting your stats. Just click cancel on the perk window, and it will appear next time you try to open your character screen. Every time the perk window comes up, it will refresh the choices based on your stats. This works with both the...
