06-04-07, 11:13 AM Hey all, I'm looking for a feat that's suppose to increase the critical multiplier of a weapon. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

"Official" -- no; but, I think Sigfried does a pretty good job at keeping all the feats reasonable and adhered to by official rules.

Has anyone ever not allowed a feat from the NBOF? Just curious about what people think of it.

06-04-07, 01:50 PM Savage Critical, in no way, is only a 4.0 for balance. A power attacking great axe wielder might as well be called DeathDealer with that feat. Even worse if he uses, say, a Bardiche or scythe.

A 1st level fighter could easily do 4d10 + 40 points of damage on a crit.

Not exactly -- a prereq is BAB +5.

Now, add on improved critical and power critical... Now you're talking about a lot of death!

Anyway, you're only talking about adding 1d10+10 to the already-existing big crit of 3d10+30 (only adding another 1/3 of damage) - I don't think it's imbalanced for a feat.

06-05-07, 03:47 AM Agains, fellas, I really need to know if there are any legal feats for Xen'drik Expeditions that I can use to increase my critical multiplier.

Does it have to be a Feat, and does it have to be just the multiplier? And what weapon?

Savage Critical is exaclty what your asking for. If your DM deems it not legal, then you're not going to find an identical feat that is.

Just ask your DM if he/she will allow it -- never hurts to ask. And personally, I think the feat is well-balanced.

Or, as Kouk hinted at, find a weapon with a higher crit multiplier.
