A good critical-themed feat?

[welby]

There are feats around that allow you to score critical hits against undeads, constructs and similar "I cannot be criticaled" cheaters... what about one of them?

ooooh, where? And would that allow a theif to backstab such creatures?

They should have included feats to crit/sneak non-critable critters (that's a lor of R's... Arr ! Arr !) in the revised 3.5. I would have LOVED it. We're core-rules suckers.

What I have in mind is that the feat as a heafty prereq. (improved crit maybe), and when you take it, you must specify what type of critters, mainly:

Corporeal Undead
Uncorporeal Undead
Golems
Oozes
Elementals
Plants

Maybe call this feat Arcane Critical ?

Well,there's the neutered Power Critical in Complete Warrior. It now gives you a +4 to confirm a crit threat. If all 11 levels are fighter, you might consider Greater Weapon Specialization. +4 to dmg in general sounds good (twice that on a crit). If you don't have it already, power attack wound be a good choice.

There's two feats critical related in the BoED. The first is resounding blow (on a crit, save or foe is stunned or dazed or something for a round; save = 10 + half level + Cha...I think). Another is an exalted feat called Quell the Profane. It does 1d4+1 temporary strength damage to evil foes.

The game is running under 3.0 rules, so no GWS sadly

These look like just the thing however. Unfortunately the DM has disallowed BoED for this game, although even the neutered power critical sounds like a good choice (particularly since the char just got a hold of a shiny new vorpal sword)

Thanks

Yes, it allows sneak attacks and criticals with one weapon. Finding the Secrets in the Kalamar Players Guide (here I am pimping it again)...

Prerequisites are pretty steep, Weapon Focus and Improved Critical with that weapon IIRC...
