Trouble understanding Improved crit / Keen


Rules Questions


Simple question how does an 18-20 crit range become a 15-20 crit range the math doesn't make any sense if its doubled shouldn't it be 16-20? Can someone please explain?


Improved Crit doesn't stack with Keen, does it?

Thank you for this. I was wondering about this.


I never said it did. I used them both because they basically
do the same thing and I figured they both should be mentioned

18-20 means you threaten on 18,19 and 20 (3 numbers). 15-20 means you threaten on 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 (6 numbers). This means double the range.


OOOOHHH I see now I've always seen it as 18+2=20 so it would be 16-20 but that makes sense and now I feel a little dumb and happy at the same time. Thank you sir
