[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 354841, member: 149"] Well this should probably be in House rules rather than general. [B] [I]Of course Piratecat the omnicient moved this over as I was typing my reply[/I][/B] I would personally be leery of letting an ability like that to be put on weapons (especially if you let it be applied multiple times), but it shouldn't be horribly expensive, probably +2 considering the price of Burst weapons which are generally more effective than an increased crit multiplier (considering that they add a d6 even on non crits). In fact that is probably what I would steer him towards. A lot of this is going to come down to what kind of weapon he is using as well. If it's a high crit range weapon (like a falchon, which with keen and imp crit gets down to 12-20? iirc) I would be much more leery of it. One of the reasons why high crit range weapons have low crit mulipliers is to balance them out. A weapon with a nearly 50% crit range and a 3-4x multiplier is NOT something you want to be dealing with at less than epic levels. If he really has his heart set on it you might want to consider offering him a "paladin" verion of the Weapon Master from S&F. They get an enhanced crit multiplier (iirc) at I think around 5-7th lvl and should be relatively easily "paladinized". [/QUOTE]
