I would guesstimate around 50 points (DX, IQ, HT) and because 50 is Doubly Pentaphiliac
The mean is lower by not quite 2, and the standard deviation is smaller by 0.1 or so.

Your odds of a crit go up to as if you had Skill 15 if you're at lower than 15, and if your skill is 16+ for a 6- rolls a crit, you're rolling a crit slightly more than one time in five.

Your odds of auto fail on a 17 or crit on an 18 are lower, but they're small probabilities anyway.

It might even be worth more, on the order of 100 points, if it always happens.
