The old critical threat range rules are fine so there is no need to change it. The Zorro pc out there had to spend the time to train with his rapier 18-20/x2 weapon and spend a feat on Imp Critical to make his base drop to 15-20/x2. Now, Zorro needs to be lucky enough to find a masterwork rapier and have it enchanted with the Keen ability or be lucky enough to have a good mage or sorceror friend that could conveniently cast Keen Edge each day. If by some chance after many dangerous missions and rising up in levels, Zorro saves his gold pieces to pay for the enchantment and if such a service is available in his area then frankly he earned his Keen, Imp Critical rapier 12-20/x2 with the mediocre d6 damage dice. Oh yeah, Zorro forgot to say that even though he gets a threat with almost every other roll, he still has to roll to confirm it and just might miss anyway. The DM only needs to make the PC earn his 12-20 threat range sword and of course, even magic weapons break and can be stolen like anything else.</blockquote>
