You like to aim for the most painful areas on the monsters.  Each level gives you a 10% chance of doing maximum damage on a hit.

That sounds very nice! But does it refer to all weapons? I can't imagine targeting a weak spot using BFG :>

[Khashishi]

Sounds seriously underpowered. But you can tweak the numbers!
For example, on the chaingun with SoB2, you are hitting for 5*(3to7), ~25 damage (-5 per armor).
Factor in killer trait, your expected damage goes to 5*(0.9*5+.1*7) ~26 damage
It's better on weapons with high damage variance, but it still sucks.

Imho not quite right evaluation. Without this perk you have some chance to do max damage. If damage 3-7 then (chance of 7) = (chance of 3) = 100 / (quantity of variants, in our case it is 5) = 20%. And this perk increases this chance by 10%.
So 5*(0.7*5+0.3*7) ~ 28.
Not much bigger than 26, but some difference exists.

Maybe a 15% chance per level would be better.

A nice advanced trait for SoaB is already in the beta version :).

Isn't chaingun 1d6? +2 is 3-8.
avgdmg=5.5, 5.5*5=27.5
Errr 28.75 with Killer...?

Anyway, IMVeryUneducatedO:

SoaB(1) is a ~28.5%(*) avgdmg increase on chaingun, 20% pistol, 10% RL.
Killer (at 10%) - ~7% chaingun, 6% pistol, 6% RL, and that's before the average raising SoaB(2) (Killer is, as Blade pointed out, completely dependant on the number of possibilities, which SoaB doesn't raise).
I didn't check for Killer(2) or SoaB(2), but it seems SoaB(2) raises the new average more than both Killers (i.e. 20%) raise the old one combined. 15% per rank should be a flat 50% increase of the bonus percent (i.e. total +9% for pistol). Even as a basic trait it really sucks.
