You might get a better answer than mine there.You've identified the only ways to increase your critical range in the core books. For now, you'd need to go keen because you won't qualify for improved critical until level 8.When comparing longsword and falchion, remember that two-handed weapons deal 1.5 times your strength bonus. That's a pretty big deal, especially for a critical build.The difference in crit ranges will eventually make the damage balances out. If I have the math correct, a keen falcion will do as much (on average) as a keen greatsword at around +19 damage... which might be a ways off from 4th level.That said, if you enjoy getting critical hits all the time go for the falchion. You might deal slightly less damage for a while, but it's not terrible and it'll be more fun.Cheers!Kinak</blockquote>
