What is the threat range spikes/impact/imp crit?

[Jeremy]

What is the final critical threat range of a club that has spikes and weapon of impact cast upon it?

20 = 1 number, x2 + x2 = x3 (by D&D multiplication rules), 1x3=3

So 18, 19, 20, 18-20/x2 right?

What if the person has the improved critical feat for clubs?

x4, so four numbers, 17-20/x2?

 

[Crothian]

Looks right to me.

Yup!

If your original crit range is one number, you add one more number each time the crit range is doubled.

If your original crit range is two numbers, you add two more numbers each time the crit range is doubled.

And so on.

which is why bludgeoning weapons are so difficult to use in smackdowns.....

I'm looking for a wooden shield that has a 19-20 threat range for smackdowns.. .. still.

And to repeat: the greatclub got shafted.

Can you say Ironwood?
Heavy flail or Maul.

I don't understand that, reaper, 20/x3 is the same as 19-20/x2 in terms of average damage, and the possible maximum damage is even higher with 20/x3.

Of course, 20/x2 is just worse, but then again, shields are not meant to be weapons, right?
