EPIC SWORD FEAT
Since swords are terribly underpowered in comparison to other available weapons, a fighter with epic levels wielding a sword may improve the critical threat range to 10-20 and the critical damage to x6. When fighting opponents armed with any weapon other than a sword, the threat range is increased to 5-20, if a 4 or less is rolled the player may roll again, and the damage is increased to x8. Hopefully this will rectify the sword-imbalance in the game and you will no longer see PCs or NPCs carrying maces, hammers, axes, etc.
