Is the crit range capped to 17-20 in this game?

Somehow i can not get beyond that no matter what. I have a keen longsword with improved critical (longsword) that alone should already be 15-20 no? I assumed something about it yesterday already but today i confirmed it.. had a longsword +1 in use with 17-20 and replaced it with a keen one... to 17-20. It could still only be t he limited in the info page but calculate beyond that .. have to check.. hm.

Improved critical feat and keen weapon property do not stack.

In other words, you only have to be a decent charbuilder or need the knowledge about where to find the best loot.. both is not nessecary because it does not stack :3 And suddenly one replay value stack vaporised into nothing.

Thanks for the quick and clear response :)

Technically the answer to your thread title is no while the answer to you post is yes.

While keen and improved critical do not stack, a weapon with 18-20 threat (like kukri) will have a threat range of 16-20 with either ability. So the stat is not capped, but the two abilities do not stack.

This is why weapons with large threat range are so important to a crit attacker build.

If the crit range is doubled, it will be 15-20? (15% becomes 30%)

15-20 on keen kukri/scimitar/falchion/faushard.

oops, yes and makes the point even more salient
