I like this idea - it'll limit crits a bit more.  One thing - isn't a +1

added to the current threshold number for these "crits" - according to 
the second paragraph in this section of the FB.  This makes it
impossible 
to receive a critical hit until one starts checking on for the second
and 
subsequent threshold points.
