Improved critical

Type of feat: general (available every three level-ups)
Prerequisite: proficiency with the chosen weapon, base attack bonus +8
Required for: overwhelming critical, devastating critical

Specifics: Combat ability increases the critical threat range of a selected weapon by a range equal to the item's base threat range. A longsword that normally threatens a critical on a roll of 19-20 would now threaten a critical on a roll of 17-20.

Use: automatic. The threat range of a keen weapon is already doubled, increasing to triple with this feat. This feat can be selected multiple times, applying to a new weapon category each time.
Special: Halflings and gnomes are small creatures, and as such they can never use the following large weapons: dire mace, double-bladed sword, doubleaxe, greataxe, greatsword, halberd, heavy flail, and scythe.

Notes

• Paladins can choose improved critical in the whip as an epic bonus feat. This is likely a bug as they cannot select this feat for any other weapon as a bonus feat.
• The creature weapon variant of this feat is non-functional; the unarmed strike variant is used with creature weapons (or any other natural weapon).
• There is no variant of this feat for the magic staff.
