Many thanks.

05-30-07, 10:14 PM There is a Feat Power Critical that gives you +4 to confirm a critical.

In PHB there is a Feat that allows sneak attack or skirmish damage every time you score a successful critical.

Increasing the threat range however beyond improve critical is asking for a bit much. With a rapier your looking at a threat range of 15-20- 25% of the time you potentially score a critical. :P

By definition, if there were any other feats or weapon properties, they would not stack with any other feat or weapon property.

So even if there were 50 other feats, all of them would say "and does not stack with these 49 other feats."

Yes, spells do stack, but Ex or Magical weapon enhancements don't. I should have been more clear in my post.

Anything that is a feat, weapon manufacturing method, or weapon +X enhancement won't stack with each other.

05-31-07, 04:09 AM The best you can do to increase your threat range is to do either take the weapon spec. PrC or a certain PrC from the Book of Vile deeds. Otherwise, they made it one purpose to not allow threat ranges to go lower than 15 without something truly special. You could of course just become a god and then all of your attacks are auto critical.
