Unfortunately some people just don't think far enough ahead to understand what would happen if some of their 'thoughts' became reality.
A 17-20 crit range archer with a 4x multi? That wouldn't be overpowered would it?
Why are we talking about this again? Archers are too weak? Really?
Haha, we agree on something!
Archers are already very powerful, and I suppose if you build them right could hold there ground against a meleer. Although, You compare a Barb Scythe user to a bowman, and the bard scythe guy beats the cleric/bard/aa in both crit's and attacks per round. But nothing can beat the AA's AB.
[EDIT]- If it is about being overpowered, maybe there is a way to give Ki Critical to a high level AA only? Or again we could just throw in PRC and put that on the Bowman Base Class.
