What I have a problem with is this concept that it is good game design to allow improving the improvement within the cramped limitation of the d20 to hit roll. 'Balance' while a central consideration, is not the only consideration in good game design. I have never had a problem with the keen/imp crit stack for balance reasons because even the worst case scenario, the falchion, has such a heavy amount of delayed gratification built into it that I do not consider it in the 'must pick' category.</blockquote>
