[QUOTE="two, post: 1791744, member: 9002"] If you already have them, requiring them isn't a liability. Many fighter builds use these feats. Not all. If yours don't, perhaps don't use Improved Critical + Keen. Many fighter builds use these feats. Not all. If yours don't, perhaps don't use Improved Critical + Keen. The infamous "Gnomish shuriken master," for example, would be a bad match for Improved Critical + Keen shurikens. Many fighter builds tend to increase their strength by 2 or 4 by 8th level. Not all, and this doesn't stop them from also increasing con or dex. If yours don't, perhaps don't use Improved Critical + Keen. The infamous "Gnomish shuriken master," for example, would be a bad match for Improved Critical + Keen shurikens + high strength. If you already have them, requiring these feats isn't a liability. Many fighter builds use these feats. Not all. If yours don't, perhaps don't use Improved Critical + Keen. Killing your opponent before they kill you can be seen as the ultimate defensive tactic. Thanks for your input. We are, after all, discussing the "Improved Critical" feat, which is tied to a weapon, which implies the fighter in question might, well, be "focussing" or "specializing" in a weapon. I'm not saying that the spiked chain fighter should get this feat, or will have power attack. Nor the disarm-master, or the high-dex fighter type. I'm saying that a fighter that selects "Improved Critical" is more than likely to, well, have feats that, well, help him hit and hurt using a specific weapon. It's really not much of a stretch. Or am I being repetitious? [/QUOTE]
