[QUOTE="Technik4, post: 1001314, member: 7211"] You can't throw out material you don't own. 3rd party supplements have also released materials which have upped the crit ante. Its all well and good to say "ignore that, its not core" but that isnt really what d&d 3e and d20 were meant to be. The core rules should be balanced within themselves and be balanced with the addition of WotC supplements as well as balanced 3rd party supplements. This means that if wizards made a book with a bad-ass unbalanced dagger, and you as a 3rd party publisher designed a feat for use with that dagger (assuming it was OGL) the core rules still wouldnt be changed. However if something inherent in the core rules (like allowing multiple crit modifying bonuses to stack) becomes broken, by changing the core rules to no longer allow it, you also curb your own previous products, as well as future balanced 3rd party products.
