[QUOTE="Technik4, post: 1006062, member: 7211"] I'm not rushing and I'm not ranting. You are totally correct that a 4th level Fighter would be better off taking Weapon Spec than Imp Crit. But wait, I was talking about characters with the potential to take Imp Crit (BAB +8). So would an 8th level fighter who managed to not have Weapon Spec be better of with it over Imp Crit? Maybe. But are fighters the only ones who use rapiers? What about a rogue with BAB 8+? Isnt it really the best feat he can take? I'm more than slightly baffled you are arguing this point, but if you feel you have a leg to stand on then go for it. As far as Energy Bonus +1d6 vs Keen? I've never seen a player who has the option of what enhancement they get not chase Keen. Perhaps statistically it is better in most situations to have the +1d6 Energy, but I can think of a lot of situations where that damage is more useless than doubling your crit range (and vice versa). You still haven't mentioned what else you can do with a rapier besides going for crits. If I want Weapon Spec and Energy Damage then why didn't I pick longsword? Because I wanted finesse? But finesse hoses my off-hand...and it still doesnt really count as another style since if Im a dex-based weapon finesse rapier wielder than *All* Ive got going for me is crits.
