Looking for ways to auto-crit or auto-confirm in Pathfinder


Advice


Looking for feats, spells, class abilities, etc. that allow you either automatically crit (preferably) or at the very least automatically confirm a crit.

Can be anything Paizo or 3rd party is fine too

Grand Lodge

I do not know of a way that automatically crit but I do have a few things that Auto Confirm the critical.

Improved critical + Bless weapon (or Oil of Bless 50gp)

Destined Bloodragers can auto confirm Critical threats.

Mythic Champion....they have the ability to auto confirm on Non-mythic targets and if they select the ability a 2nd time they can Confirm on Mythic targets.

I am sure there are more....but this is a dangerous question.


Just curious - why?


Cyclopean seer oracles with Flash of insight to choose the result of a die roll, and there's at least 1 barbarian rage power, boar's charge which does an auto crit threat. There's the fighter capstone ability, there's the named bullet or eaglesoul spells ... Probably a few magic items too. Care to narrow down what this is for?

The closests to auto confirm is the following item

Pendant of the Blood Scarab:

A carved ruby in the shape of a scarab set in gold, this magic amulet grants its wearer insight on where to strike a creature so as to maximize pain and distress. This pendant must be worn against bare flesh in order to function.

Once per day, as an immediate action, when the wearer of a pendant of the blood scarab threatens a critical hit with any attack, he may automatically confirm the critical hit. When the user activates this ability, the pendant’s spiky little legs momentarily animate and clutch against the wearer’s skin, dealing 1d6 points of damage as the amulet burrows and digs into the wearer’s body in apparent delight at the devastating blow inflicted on the enemy.

The Exchange

The Skewering melee weapon quality let's one auto-confirm by burning panache.

Liberty's Edge

I don't remember the name of it, but there is some cyclops helm that gives you a 1/day "choose your result" (at least I think that's what it does).

Scarab Sages

Pendant of the Blood Scarab: Take 1d6 damage to auto-confirm once per day.

Disposable Weapon: Break your fragile weapon to auto-confirm.

You could also be a 20th level fighter, but that's a bit of an investment.


3pp feat Leaping Strike lets you make an Acrobatics check as part of a charge, DC 16 for medium enemies and +8 per size larger. If you beat it, and your attack actually hits, the attack is an auto threat.


Coup de Grace

Then I found this:
Dastardly Finish
If you can find some way to reliably make your target Cowered and/or Stunned this becomes awesome.

Remember it's a full round action to Coup de Grace and it provokes attacks of opportunity.

If 3rd party is fine I found Improved Coup de Grace which helps a lot with this.

If any of this is useful, I found all this on the first page of Google after I searched "pfsrd coup de grace".


Cyclops helm to generate a crit + any of the methods mentioned above to confirm.


butterfly sting


Absolutely butterfly sting. Best rogue feat ever made.


Inspired Blade Swashbuckler has Inspired Strike (11th level deed that lets you auto-crit).
You also get to auto-confirm at level 20 so the archetype gives you both abilities you're looking for as class features.
It's a bit late game though and requires that you only use a rapier but it does what you asked for.


Level 20 fighter.

Scarab Sages

Level 20 Heavens Oracle as well.

Owner - Gator Games & Hobby

Quarry lets Rangers automatically confirm criticals. Named Bullet lets all your hits (against touch if within 30') automatically threaten.


19 level two handed fighter, Devastating Blow auto critial's, but does not confirm, at level 20 it auto confirm with one weapon. This is really nasty with weapon like a scythe instant kills most things.


In the Skulls & Shackles AP, gaining sufficient Infamy lets you auto confirm crits on board your ship.

Exotic weapon Proficiency - Guillotine?

I echo the call to know why you need to auto crit?


Level 16 destined bloodrager autoconfirms (and requires a nat 20 to be confirmed against).


Destruction domain cleric:
"Destructive Aura (Su): At 8th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura of destruction for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. All attacks made against targets in this aura (including you) gain a morale bonus on damage equal to 1/2 your cleric level and all critical threats are automatically confirmed. These rounds do not need to be consecutive."
This can do more harm then good if you use it at the wrong time, but it can also be very powerful. Hmm... a Bit O'Luck, combined with destructive aura... what god has Luck and Destruction domains?
