Hi,
Just downloaded and brought Hero Lab, that's how impressed I was with it. However, there is a large amount of good faith that the bugs are all going to get patched and the development continue ! So lets put that faith to the test with: I rolled up a lvl12 human druid, and gave him improved critical with the Scimitar. I then equipped him with a +1 keen scimitar which had his treat range as 15-20. Thinking that didn't sound right, I removed the keen ability and saw the threat range was back to 18-20 (which is standard for a scimitar, I believe). So it seems the improved critical feat (which I did assign to scimitar, by the way!) is not affecting my weapon stats ? Final point - have you considered splitting the forums between hero lab discussion and hero lab bug tracking ? I have a feeling quite a few little niggles might wriggle out over the next few months, and would of thought having them seperate to discussion of features and feedback would be easier. |

However, the Keen effect appears to be generating the proper result of doubling the threat range. It goes from 18-20 (span of 3) to 15-20 (span of 6). Is this a wrong result? If so, please explain so we can get it fixed. Also, remember that the effects of Improved Critical and Keen do NOT stack. So having both of them will only net you the same effect as having one of them. Quote:
Hope this helps, Rob |

Quick note to say scimitar normal threat range is 18-20 (which is awesome).
So Improved critical or Keen ability (which both double the threat range) should make the weapon have a 15-20 threat range. The abilites don't stack as you noted, which is probably for the best... otherwise Drizzt would become far too powerful So I guess improved critical was not working for the scimitar (keen seemed to work fine). Whether this was caused by me giving a keen scimitar to a Druid with improved ciritcal, I can't say ! |

Page 95 of the 3.5 PHB:
"This effect doesn't stack with any other effect that expands the threat range of a weapon (such as the keen edge spell)." It was changed for 3.5. But it's also a frequently house-ruled thing, so it might be worthwhile to put in a special option somewhere to let them stack. |
