Combat proficiencies.

[Darth Malignus]

Is that even spelled correctly? Proficiencies? Nevermind. So, I´m thinking about which combat skill I´d like to continue onwards with, and honestly I´m not really sure which one to pick.
We have the following:¨

Critical strike
Flurry
Power Attack

Now, I´m thinking Flurry is an obvious candidate, seeing that being able to dish out an extra attack never hurt anyone, except for the ones on the receiving end, that is. The offsets seem neglible, as a -1 to all those attacks and defence isn´t exactly life-threatening, as long as you maintain a high armor and attack bonus.

Power Attack is pretty straight forward, as it dishes out 10 extra damage and a-3 to attack bonus. Now extra damage is probably okay in Kotor, seeing that the hitpoints of the enemies need to be whittled down fast, and the more the better. The -3 to attack bonus can be a problem, if it´s low in the first place. I´m prone to let this one slip, but still, if my attack bonus is high enough, maybe it´s worth the extra damage. The good thing is that it doesn´t have any other setbacks than that.

Critical Strike, however, has some features I like. The quadruple chance to score double damage alone is appealing, and the chance to stun is just as benificial. There´s of course the -5 to defence to consider. But another aspect of it is that you might run into critters or people immune to critical strikes.

So, which one would you pick?
