Why did they change the Keen rule and not the property?

[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 1008732, member: 2358"] I don't play, I *am* the DM. Hahaha . . . Anyone else find this to be the absolute dumbest most nonsensical thing ever heard (not to mention the funniest)? You think that something tripling the threat range is outrageous, yet allowing two things that double the threat range to stack is okay? Someone needs to go back to the basics, hahaha! I needed a good laugh! In case you don't know why I'm laughing and how stupid your statement was, allow me to point out that two doublings (stacking Keen and Improved Critical) and a tripling (any new feat or item that triples the threat range) ARE THE SAME THING! If you put Improved Critical and Keen on a rapier, the range is 12-20. If you triple the threat range, the range is 12-20. Now of course if this was an honest mistake, I apologize for making fun of you. I do believe, however, that's your simply trolling and arguing about this rule change just to argue. I agree with the decision, though, and I think most people would as well, or at least accept it. Critical hits SHOULD be special and rare, not common. If you want bigger threat ranges, make people pay more for it than a simple-to-obtain feat and a cheap magical enhancement. Make it costly. Make it hard to get. Something to make the crits more special. [/QUOTE]
