A x7 crit is much less useful. After all, a x3 crit is often an instakill and a x4 crit is almost always an instakill. So in that sense, x7 isn't really any better than x4. On the other hand, x3 is significantly better than x2.As a DM, I'd much much much rather give out a x7 crit weapon than an 18-20/x3 weapon. If players really want deadly coup de graces, they can just carry a heavy pick around with them. With full two handed power attack and an auto-crit, very few creatures even survive the damage, let alone the save. Going from x4 to x7 is overkill in that case as well.</blockquote>
