The trickiest sell is Ambush subbing in for DCC's Backstab. Here's my thought process --- ambushing something (a deer, person, or fiend) requires enormous force of will. You spot the target, sit and sit and sit and wait, until it presents the perfect opportunity.
Strike early and it's just an attack. But if you have the patience and willpower to wait for just the right moment ... that's the DCC backstab crit.
Another change would be to reframe Hide in Shadows / Sneak Silently as things anyone can attempt, but with two tracks, with one strongly favoring those that chose it as a skill.
