Bloodstone

Does bloodstone stack with Power critical and imp wep crit feats?

[Memnir]

I believe so, yes.

bloodstone the gem or bloodstone the trinket? :D:D
either way, both don't stack with improve crit and power crit
improve crit has nothing in common with seeker bonus in the first place
and i remember power crit not stacking with bloodstone, making it one of the most useless feat to aquire =P

OK thanks for info, so i should get rid of power crit, and imp wep crit? if I have a bloodstone (trinket)?

Bonuses from feats should stack with other sources unless implicity stated otherwise (ie: IC vs. Keen/Impact). At the very least, I'd say what that other guy said ("Power Critical +confirm doesn't stack with Trinket") is highly suspect. I won't say its definitely wrong, since I haven't tested it...but I'd be very surprised.

That said, the benefit from the Bloodstone is primarily due to the +6 damage. Power Critical is just the +confirm and, with few exceptions, is a pretty useless feat.

Imp Critical, however, is usually beneficial (very few exceptions, less in Mod 9). It expands the crit range of your weapon by one - so a weapon that needs a roll of 20 to crit will crit on a 19 or 20 with Imp. Critical feat. Make sense?

You're on the right track...but Improved Crit actually doubles the threat range of a weapon making it an almost manditory feat :)

20 ----> 19-20
19-20 ----> 17-20
18-20 ----> 15-20

BTW: To answer the OPs question about Power Crit and the Bloodstone, even if the bonuses stack (which Im not 100% on) it won't really make a difference. The Power Crit feat only adds to the bonus to confirm critical hits, where the bloodstone adds to crit damage and confirmation rolls. If you are having a hard time confirming your crits with a Bloodstone you may want to consider rerolling your character to a more melee friendly build.

...the main advantage to the Bloodstone is the +6 bonus to crit damage which turns into a +12\+18\+24 with a X2\X3\X4 critical hit multipier weapon

**** you for correcting me correctly! Not sure where my brain went there.

Pst... just tell them you were thinking about the Kensai or Barbarian increase ability when typing.
