Improved Crit for Bows

Unread post by sir_blacksoutalot »

We have whetstones to grant temporary improved critical feat to slashing/piercing weapons, and lodestones to grant imp crit to bludgeoning weapons. But there is currently no way to add imp crit to ranged weapons.

I remember seeing a recent post (viewtopic.php?f=443&t=68968) stating that the NWN2 mechanics make this very difficult to do. However, I know you can apply poison to arrows. Can we please get some method to add improved critical to bows? Ideally, we could just have arrows for sale that are imbued with the Imp Crit (longbow/shortbow) property.

Spells can grant feats, as well. So, you could do it like this:

You cast the spell on your weapon. You then get a menu. You then select the appropriate weapon feat to imbue that weapon with:
Keen (For melee weapons)
improved critical: Sling, light crossbow, heavy crossbow, short-bow, longbow, dart, throwing axe, OR shuriken.

Then you get either the feat, or the keen effect on your weapon.
