[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 2312244, member: 463"] In my high level game one of the two Fighter PCs used a spear, because it was a powerful artifact. The other used a bastard sword, because he started in 3.0 :) In my low-level game the first Fighter PC used a halberd, so he could Trip & set vs charge. The second Fighter uses longsword & shield and concentrates on defense. Crit multiples have never been a factor. Generally players prefer 19-20/x2 to 20/x3 as with 19-20/x2 you are more likely to crit, & less likely to waste damage on overkill when you do crit. FWIW I'd say 17-20/x2 is a lot better than 19-20/x3 (keen or imp crit) and 16-20/x2 is still better than 18-20/x3 (keen + imp crit). [/QUOTE]
