06-14-04, 11:52 AM The Deepwood Sniper prestige class (found in Masters of the Wild) increases the multiplier on your ranged weapons. I don't know of any other sources that do so. However, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a feat that does this from some third party publisher.

Whcih makes a Deepwood sniper/bow using weaponmaster ungodly nasty. ;)

There is the epic feat I forget what it's called that adds damage dice to your crits, based on the weapons multiplier.

If there is no exsisting 3rd party feat..

Greater Criticals:
Prereqs: BAB 12, Improved Criticals, Weapon Focus, Weapon specialization (all with chosen weapon)
*blah flavor text*

With this feat the critical multiplier of your favored weapon is increased by 1, 'nuff said.
Special: this feat may be taken more than once, it's effects do not stack, blah blah blah.

And an epic version which can be taken every 7 (21, 28, 35, etc) levels, that boosts it by 1 more each time [By 35th level a weaponmaster could then do an X9 crit with a scythe.. hmm. ow!)

[*Edit - should have noted this is in reply to the question about the epic feat that adds damage dice based on the weapons multiplier. *]

06-23-04, 10:35 PM Thanks for setting me straight on that feat. The feat in the AEG Feats IS Weapon Master, but it changes the damage die of a chosen weapon to one die higher (i.e. a Katana does 1d10 damage and taking Weapon Mastery(Katana) raises the damage die to 1d12). Overwhelming Critical adds 1d6 damage on a x2 multiplier, 2d6 damage on a x3 multiplier, and 3d6 on x4 multiplier. Devastating Critical says whenever you score a critical hit, your target must make a Fortitude save (DC=10+1/2 your level+Str modifier) or die instantly. Creatures immune to critical hits can't be affected by this feat. Overwhelming Crit and Devastating Crit are Epic level feats and have a whole lot of preq feats.
