[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 1007722, member: 307"] [B][/b] Sorry about that. Technik quoted you and then went on to say something himself. When I went to reply, the formatting made it look like you said it. Looking back at his post now, I see that this silly statement was his. His silly statement was effectviely: "If I'm going to make a critical hit based character it is a no-brainer to focus on the rapier, just like one would focus on the flail for a disarm focused character". Of course, his analysis leaves out the fact that the rapier is no better a weapon for a critical his based character than any number of other martial weapons. He is focused on [i]threat range[/i], but ignores [i]base damage dice[/i] and [i]critical hit multipliers[/i] in his analysis. Right, but that is because fighters have lots of feats to spend. If you had more limited feats, you'd probably be better off with Specialization first and worrying about Improved Critical later. A point I have made to Technik, but he refuses to understand. [i]Keen[/i] is not that powerful of an enhancement, you are better off with most of the other +1 enhancements in preference to [i]keen[/i]. But in his mind, [i]keen[/i] is the ultra-uber attribute, despite the fact that the actual evidence demonstrates otherwise. [/QUOTE]
