This is a tangent thread from Feats - Imp Crit + Keen = ??? .
The basic premise is that under the revised core rules keen & improved critical do not stack; however keen is a +1 ability for edged weapons while improved critical is a feat with a +8 bab requirement. My thought is that improved critical is a weak feat because keen is too cheap.
Improved critical under the revised rules is of a premium value only when:
1) A keen weapon is not yet available or
2) When the character wants a total +10 weapon in other abilities (+5 vorpal) while still wanting the improved threat range.
Under the more common circumstances, keen is the logical & efficient choice than the improved critical feat, which strikes me as wrong.
