Main benefit of this version is an [[Improved Critical Hit]] (equivalent to about 5% overall damage increase). For a ranged build a [[File: Champion Icon.png|frameless|upright=0.1|24px|link= Champion]] [[Champion]] is more interesting than for a melee one - there are a lot of ways to guarantee crits for melee strikers in bg3. Still [[File: Battle Master Icon.png|frameless|upright=0.1|24px|link= Battle Master]] [[Battle Master]] [[#Level 3|Manoeuvers]] provide a comparable damage increase together with a ton of utility and flexibility.<br> | Main benefit of this version is an [[Improved Critical Hit]] (equivalent to about 5% overall damage increase).
