I like the idea and the scheme about 2h vs 1h.
Anyway actual crit stanzas make tekorn weapons more valuable, given their 5% crit chance. The actual increased chance already gives you a lot of crits, don't you think 45% would be too much and almost make a tekorn weapon crit almost every hit?
I would prefer a stanza that will give me a 100% crit success on next attack, if it don't miss/dodged/parried. That would give me control on the use of the AIM actions that, by their nature u have to balance differently, and generally they are weak if there is not a crit and they don't proc. Something similar to feint (that give me a 100% way to use a next cheaper attack, instead of waiting for a dodge/parry).
This stanza could still be available to 1h only, so to save your scheme.
This is speaking of melee weapons. Instead, speaking of 1h ranged weps, i agree with your idea.
By the way, despite most 2h meleers choose axe, in my opinion a 2h sword with max parry is much better than 2h axe.
