    bloodstone the gem or bloodstone the trinket?
    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

    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
