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

[QUOTE="Pax, post: 1009911, member: 6875"] First rule of being a good GM: always look at everythign form BOTH sides: GM [b]and[/b] player. Apparently that's a lesson you missed. No, I think creating a private, custom feat to work around the published rules would be [b]taken[/b] as outrageous by many people. I've known a lot of people who are strict by-the-book GMs; even [i]proposing[/i] something that is not in the published book, they decry as munchkinism "of the worst sort" ... they're great GMs otherwise, but, the situation remains: a custom feat would get me laughed out of the room, if brought to THAT table. Heck, I know some 3E GMs who still cite rules from FIRST edition, and are absolute by-the-book types. Then you haven't paid attention, and you need to consider remedial lessons in basic reading comprehension. [b]I don't think crit-range stacking was ever broken to begin with.[/b] Ergo, it didn't need to be addressed in the so-called "revision" in the first place. Then make them special [b]in your own campaign[/b]; there was no need for the change to become the [b]default[/b] ... plenty of folks other than me have objected in this thread, so I don't think acceptance would be nearly as universal as you seem to believe it would be.
