Stephens" data-source="post: 3163640" data-attributes="member: 3190">As an additional note, high base attack bonuses are rarer in d20 Modern than D&D, as only the Strong hero and Martial Artist have a 1/1 BAB progression out of the core book. That means for -most- characters (all characters that don't have at least one of those two classes) you couldn't get Imp Crit until 12th level. But we want a dedicated soldier to have access earlier, so they get something similar (though as noted not quite as good) at 5th, which can easily be 8th character level -- same level Imp Crit becomes available in D&D.Once we have that as a class ability, we don't want to steal its thunder by also having it as a feat. Since criticals are more dangerous in d20 Modern (because of lower massive damage thresholds), -and- healing is rarer in the vast majority of campaigns, it's best to exclude that feat.</blockquote>
