In 3.5 a ranger gets a bonus to damage versus any enemy he chooses: undead, constructs, elementals, you name it. That bonus comes from his training and understanding of how and where to strike those creatures. So are you saying that WotC doesn't understand this premise? Now I don't have Libris Mortis, so I don't know if this is a balanced feat or not. It does seem silly to me to write off an option based purely on an opinion of what the physical nature of an undead creature's anatomy is. I've seen Shaun of the Dead,* The Mummy and all of the Evil Dead movies, so I think I can say that undead creatures do have more vulnerable parts, just not parts that are immediately obvious. Heck, from watching Lord of the Rings, it seems like even wraiths have vulnerable spots... I have Blood and Brains, which has a section detailing critical hit rules for the undead, and that is an excellent book, which understands the underlying principles of D20 design pretty darn well. * Oh and you should too! It's brilliant.</blockquote>
