The Critical Strike adept power states that its use must be declared before an attack. It doesn't take an additional action, it doesn't require any time to activate. You just have to say "I'm going to hit him using critical strike." Does anyone have a GM that would actually screw them out of their critical strike power because they forgot to declare its use?
