Arcane crit range?

[fr8o]

I find myself using a lot of touch/ranged touch attacks and I was wondering what I might be able to do with feats/equipment to get a respectable crit range.

Base is 20/x2. There are feats for Improved Crit (ranged touch) and Improved Crit (melee touch), respectively. Neither Keen Weapon nor Weapon of Impact spells will work, as most spells do not deal P, S, or B damage. Check Dolorous Blow from spell compendium. That might work, I need to look later.

Dolorous Blow does not work. Target: Weapon Touched.

Does Power Critical help? It will increase your chance of confirming a crit.

Improved Crit (ranged touch) is a good start I suppose, 19-20 is a 100% increase over nat 20 hehe any other ideas? someone once long ago mentioned something or other bursting gloves or something I think that added 1 damage and enhanced crit on touch and ranged touch attacks, but I do not know what it was or the actual rules for it.

There is a magic item in the Eberron book "The Forge of War" that I think is just what you are looking for. They are on page 121 and called the Gloves of Deadly Casting. For 14,000gp it doubles the critical threat range of any ray spells and touch attack spells you cast. The drawback is that the gloves do not stack with the Improved Critical Feat. However its about as good as 2 of that Feat since it works on both rays and touch attack spells.

I hope this helps.

The critical strike spell might work... it adds sneak attack damage, increases your crit range and gives a bonus to confirm crits... and IIRC it's not related to a wielded weapon.
