Revision as of 18:22, 30 April 2026 by Orth (talk | contribs) (layonara wiki-sync: masterfeat ImprovedCritical @ nwn-haks local)

Type of Feat: General

Prerequisite:

  • Proficiency with the chosen weapon
  • BAB +8

Required for: Overwhelming Critical, Devastating Critical

Specifics: Combat ability doubles the critical threat range with a given weapon. A longsword that normally threatens a critical on a roll of 19-20 would now threaten a critical on a roll of 17-20. A weapon that would normally threaten a critical on a roll of 20 (i.e., only 1 out of 20) now threatens a critical on a roll of 19-20 (i.e., now 2 out of 20).

Use: Automatic.

Notes:

  • The threat range of a keen weapon is already doubled, increasing to triple with this feat.
  • This feat can be selected multiple times, applying to a new weapon category each time.
