Better Critical Chances

This is a good skill to have and in combo with From The Shadows in the Ninjutsu perk tree, your critical chance spikes up and will definitely come more often. Just defeat one enemy in order to activate Cold Blood and along with the other perks in Cold Blood, this becomes a deadly weapon in your arsenal.
