Quick question: I was wondering what are all the ways to increase the critical multiplier.
I have been theorizing a Shadow Assassin build and looking for ways to maximize the critical multiplier using all and any feats available (including fighter feats).
The 4th level Kensai thing increases the multiplier by 1 at the cost of 2 ki points. Then at level Twenty, IIRC they get the Fighter Capstone, which increases it by another 1. And of course the Mythic Improved Critical.
Thanks for the replies guys. Unfortunately those options are a bit too deep in classes to be useful for my purposes (though that does make a bit of sense).
Well, you can always use a Lance while mounted and the Spirited Charge feat chain. Without anything else, that'll give you a x5 multiplier. (Lance is base x3, double damage on charge makes it an effective x4, Spirited Charge makes that x5; using PF's wonky multiplication rules, of course)
One other way is using mythic death from above. I believe it offers a boost, of course use a weapon with a good crit multiplier. I think there may be a trait in wrath of the righteous (again mythic ). That may raise it at later levels 'stolen power' or something like. Hope this helps.
