Id say it is base crit chance.

does it say Increased?
pretty sure it's a generic multiplier
That's the thing.
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Vulnerability#cite_note-IncDamage-1if you compare it to case study Vulnerability.
It's a curse, from you TO Enemy.
it says "Cursed enemies take (30-39)% increased Physical Damage".
If you X = 100dmg
Mob increased is your 100%'s 20% increase damage, aka 120% damage.
If it was YOU stand alone increase damage, aka that 100 dmg's 10 base 20% increase may only be like 101% dmg etc.
Because of the soruce of different damage, with it's increase, it's a actually a more multiplier, same with Yoke of Suffering
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Yoke_of_Suffering"Enemies take 5% increased Damage for each type of Ailment you have inflicted on them" is actually a secret More multiplier in hidden sight disguised as increase.
ofc. if you have yoke/ Vulnerability / ass mark etc, it becomes its own increase mod.
But this brittle is a crit increase modifier, stand alone stat, thus it can hardly be scaled down.
