Question on Cristicals

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? :confused: 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. :D

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.
