[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 29963, member: 232"] Well, it goes against the idea that the reason you can't critical hit undead is because they just don't have anything important to critical hit. But rules are made to be broken, shattered, then jumped up and down on, and then stomped into the floor. I think the feat is balanced, but I'm not sure if expertise is the right feat prerequisite. Expertise is a better way of fighting defensively, and I don't see how that helps to critcal hit the undead. My only suggestion, and it doesn't fit much better, would be to require weapon focus nad restrict the feat to that weapon only. It weakens the feat some, which is probably a good thing. And it shows that your expertise with the weapon (but not the expertise feat, weird huh? :D ) allows you to critical hit the undead. You might also want to put in skill focus Necrology to show a greater study on the undead. That way you have the knowledge to know where to strike and the ability to do so. [/QUOTE]
