Trying to get the highest crit range possible?
« on: June 27, 2008, 05:14:55 PM »
I'm trying to figure out how to get high crit range and this is the best I could come up with. Is this without flaws
 human
Barbarian 1/ Fighter 4/ Weapon Master7/ Disciple of Disipater 8

I haven't figured out the feats entirely but this one definatly would have to use THF with a falchion for a crit range of 7-20

With flaws and buy off

dark two headed human
HD2/Fighter 2/Barb 1/Weapon Master 7/ Disciple of Dispater 8

twf kukri fighter with crit range of 7-20

do you guys have any advise on how to increase the crit range?

Can you explain with a bit more detail than class levels how you have a 7-20 crit range?
I'm really lazy like that...

Disciple of Dispater has an ability to triple your crit range, and it specifically states that it stacks with imp crit for a x4 crit range which gives you 9-20 for your crit and a level 7 of kensia/weapon master from OA gives you an additional +2 to your crit range if you already have imp crit.

 This is not totally legal for min/max boards, because weapon master I used is 3.0 and was kinda redone as exotic weapon master in CW, and in a minds eye article as the psionic weapon master, but for the campaign I'm in it doesn't matter.

If you're going with 3.0 classes anyway, grab a Keen weapon.

I thought Keen and Imp Crit stacked in 3.0. I know they don't in 3.5, but that's beside the point

Doesn't vorpal only trigger on a NATURAL 20? or was that different in 3.0 too?

To clear up a bit, while 3e stuff is allowed unless it has been directly reprinted in 3.5 so the keen stuff would not stack with imp crit, but the Iron power ability of Disciple of Dispater specifically states that it does not stack with the keen weap enhancement, so it doesn't work any way you look at it.

The cityscape barbarian is a different, but I'm having a tough time determining wheather it is better or worse than a regular barbarian rage, the sickened part seems to be worse than fatigued, but it might not matter if the encounter isn't to long.

On the upside, sickened is easier to get rid of than fatigued.

Kensei from OA gives another 2 to your crit range. I hope you find room for Lightning Maces and the Aptitude weapon enhancement.

I thought Kensei and Weapon Master were the same thing, only reprinted.

Do you use any D20 source??

Quintessential Dwarf (1 or 2 ) (GMW) +3 hit, Greater honed +6 dam, Folded Steel +1 crit,

Swashbuckler (AEG)Bent grip +1 Crit, Mortis assassin (AEG) prestige 5 lvls lets you add 1 to crit range and mod per lvl (5 lvl prestige) use any small bladed weapon suggest (Sailors knife 17-20/x3 Small 1d4 ) puzzle serrated + 2 damage lvls

Modified-GMW, GHoned, Balanced, Bent grip Folded Sailors knife +4hit 10-20/x9+6 Small 1d8 (cost 2520 GP )
Fighter 2/Mortis 5 fights as twin weapons

entry into Mortis is BAB 2
I use monk lvl 3 typically slower but better character skills

Weapon Master really wasn't redone into Exotic Weapon master. The two classes have nothing to do with each other.

I have a couple of questions on the subject - what's the best threat range you can get on a non-evil character, and how good a multiplier can you get ditto? I decided to focus on building a crit build after noticing how obscene Spirited Charge with a lance was.
