Crit strikes and counter.

I think if the fight is opened with a critical strike the possibility should be there for a counter, they're unblockable, damn near don't miss if you halfway know the anatomy and can really, really put a whooping on whoever you're fighting if you can stack enough different strikes in.

the word critical suggests that the attack involves careful judgement and placement. Like a critical hit in a rp game it does more damage and usually it dont miss. Oh btw Critical strikes miss enough for them to be like anything else.... balanced. To be able to counter it other then a blademaster themselves I dont agree with.
