Keen Weapon (Ray)

[dmccoy1693]

So my Necromancer that hates undead and loves to drop ability scores has Reach feat. So he does things like Vampiric Ray (Vampiric Touch + Reach Feat). Well one of my fav spells is Ray of Enfeeblement (1d6+4 Str damage). So if I crit that, I'm doing up to 20 Str damage (not bad for a little 1st level spell). Thanks to the SC, I do the same to just about all the other ability scores too. I'm considering taking Keen Weapon (Ray) as my next feat. Are there any other possible feats I could use to just make this character sick?

Ray of Enfeeblement doesn't do STR damage; it provides a STR penalty. So it doesn't crit.

Consider getting the Split Ray feat (CArc, IIRC).

You're probably better off asking in the rules forum. Also, why is this under humor? If you're jesting, you've a very subtle wit and I suppose I commend you on that.

I assume you already have Point-Blank Shot and Precise Shot?

Don't tell my DM that.

Actually these are good ideas. I don't do alot of firing into melee, but it does happen from time to time.

I assume you're talking Improved Critical (Ray). Just remember you need a +8 BAB to take the feat...prohibitive for most arcane casters.

DANG!!! Knew that thought was to good to work.

Yeah, I know. Pretty good for "gishes" like the Eldritch Knight, though.
