It doesn't discriminate against finesse fighters, who are dear to my heart  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  Rogues could take it at level 30 - but in competition with things like Dextrous Fortitude, it would be less obviously appealing. Multiclasses and Duelists some time in the 20s, depending on the Fighter/Rogue ratio in their build. I also think that it has to be an [Epic] feat, btw. It's a complete no-brainer as it stands. What other feat would a 12th-level Fighter take? Or an 18th-level Fighter, for that matter? By relaxing the Prereqs, it becomes even more of a no-brainer, ergo it must be an epic feat - which is worth more than a regular one.I don't favor Greater Critical Multiplier as it stands on the basis that a) It's boring. Just more of the same.b) It has the Str/Power Attack Prerequisite, which nerfs finessers again.We could change b) with no problem; a) is my real objection, though.I'd rather that whatever feat comes after Improved Critical Multiplier didn't reference the Multiplier at all. Or favour a wide threat range like DevCrit - which unbalances rapiers and scimitars. I'd still like it to be a possible Instakill (I know we're at variance here), but I'd like to link it to the Massive Damage mechanic: as it stands an unlucky creature can make the Fort Save vs. a DevCrit and then roll a 1 on the Massive Damage Save and still die - I've seen this happen (not in my game, I don't use DFMD at all), and it's kind of depressing.How would you feel about this feat:It doesn't favour weapons with a wide crit range, it doesn't discriminate against finessers or Barbs/Paladins/Rangers, it won't kill opponents of a higher CR than you 50% of the time, and rewards a natural '20' somewhat. It's more like a moderated vorpal effect. I think it would still be worth taking, but it's not such an obvious choice. It kind of assumes that a modified DFMD mechanic is employed, as well: threshold = 50 +10/level above 20, or whatever.</blockquote>
