Deepwoods Sniper question: keen blade

[Shadeus]

In MotW, there's a 6th-level (if I remember right) ability for Deepwoods snipers that reads Keen Blade, but its not in the description at all. They have another ability of that level, so maybe its just not supposed to be there.

Also, if a 7th-level DwS (with the x5 bonus to criticals) uses a flameburst bow, does he get +4d10 damage? That's the natural extrapolation from the description which only goes up to x4. (And does it go to +5d10 if they drink a potion of Assassin Senses? )

Thanks!

The keen blade thing is probably an error. As for burst enchantments, +4d10 is a reasonable extrapolation. As for assassin's senses, that's just silly.

The ability is Keen Edge, not Keen Blade, and it is an error. Piratecat posted on another thread that he checked with one of the authors of MotW, who confirmed that it was the name of an original ability that was replaced by the 1st lvl Keen Arrows. So it got dropped from the PrC description, but they forgot to change the table.

Ah, excellent. Thanks.
