Fast Draw critical success

No doubt, his shots aren't backed by strong bows or full draws. If we want to be fully realistic, the game's super-speed shots should probably involve operating at less than full strength. The same likely holds for Rapid Strike too: in reality, those double-speed greatsword swings should be shorter and weaker than the full chop. (I think there were protests along those lines on the forums way back when a Rapid Strike-like mechanism was just an idea being tossed about.)

But: For dungeon-delving cinematic "realism", crazy-fast attacks at full power sound right!
