Critical Hits

Hi there,
I've been looking through the manuals and searching this forum and the web but I can't seem to find a single piece of info on the threat range and multipliers of the various weapon types. Is there even a difference or are those 3rd edition novelties? For instance, I noticed a Scimitar with +1 Luck while equipped, is that 17-20/x2 ? Tnx!

[EDIT] I've also read opposing statements about the maximum number of attacks per round you can get. Is it 5 like in IWD2 or 10 like in BG2?

Critical threat range and multiplier are always 20/x2 in classic AD&D games like IWD, it didn't change before 3rd edition.
Luck increases your rolls by 1, so you'll roll 20 more often.

The maximum number of attacks per round you can have in IWD1 is 10.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have to say 3rd edition really improved a lot of things though.
