Cirilo di Faenza has the highest skill I've ever given a character with a sword.
A skill of 17 with a rapier gives a 14 or less to hit the vitals.
He then delivers 1d+1 imp. On average that's 4 points, and typically without DR so that becomes a 12 and his opponent is looking to make a consciousness roll to keep fighting.
It's -9 to hit the eye, but you get x4 damage to hit there. That wouldn't change if they die in one shot or not, but 16 is closer to dead than 12. Even if they live, they're down an eye.
All out attack (determined) would give a +4 to hit that eye so 12 or less net.
All out attack (strong) would give a +2 to damage. That'd be 6 points on average to the vitals and 18 delivered.
All out attack robs you of your defense and he's not stupid enough to do that.
What is the best course, with his skill is the seldom used feint.
That might even get a good roll at that eye without needing to all out attack.
