Question on Cristicals

[lellebror_erik]

I find this a bit odd..
A normal onehanded lightsaber has a critical threat of 19-20.
If you add a Nextor crystal to it, then its 17-20.
Master Critical Hit gives a 20-20 weapon 17-20, that would mean a normal onehanded lightsaber has 16-20.
When i count on this, i get that a when using a Keen lightsaber and M.C.H. the threat should be 13-20, but the feedback says its 11-20.
Can anny one explain this to me?

I am sorry, but all your calculations have me a little blurry eyed. Have you checked out all your feats and attributes yet? Or anything else that your charcter may have on him or inhis abiltiies that may help?

If not, then count your blessings you have such a powerful lightsaber.

According to the 'critical specialist' custom character information, going with Master Critical Strike with two lightsabers having opila and nextor crystals gives a critical threat range of 12-20, with 2-12 damage on a critical hit. Here's a link to the custom character page: http://www.gamebanshee.com/starwarskoto ... acters.php

You miscalculated your Master Critical Strike threat range for the single bladed sabre which starts at 19-20(2 out of 20). The feat quadruples your critical threat range, giving you 13-20(8 out of 20) with a single-bladed sabre. You're figuring it as if the feat adds 3 to your threat range instead, which is an honest mistake considering that's what it appears to do when using a double-bladed sabre(original threat range 20-20, or 1 out of 20) since 1+3 = 1*4.

After that, the keen effect gets applied seperately from the feat, so it only gets applied to the weapon's original threat range, and since the original threat range is 19-20(2 out of 20), keen doubles it (or adds 2 to the range) which is then tacked onto your MCS bonus giving the 11-20 threat range.

FYI, the critical threat range for a keen double-bladed sabre in the hands of character with MCS would be 16-20-- 1 out of 20 originally(20 only), 4 out of 20 with MCS(or 17-20), then 5 out of 20 with keen added after that(16-20).

As for the critical specialist listing, they made a typo saying it was 12-20 as obviously the game shows differently.
