You rarely run across monsters that drop scrolls, and I dont think any of the shops sell scrolls right?

Any thoughts about removing keen from non-slashing weapons?

Why?

Keen might not mean "keen edge" in the sense, but take something as powerful as lagnar's hammer for instance - while not an edge weapon I'm sure that the weapon was smithed and enchanted in a fashion that it deliver goring, crushing blows more often than you average hammer.

I don't see why keen should be removed from non-slashing weapons.

I don't know if keen on stock imbued weaponry is needed though - keen should be a rare trait for sure.

Bug if you can keen a hammer--slash or pierce melee weap only (though Bio went slash only for some reason).

That's interesting, I never knew that.

Is this a pnp thing too then? Surely there can't be absolutely no recourse for increasing the crit range (other than thru feats, etc) on bludgeoning weapons too? I'm sure some exceptional hammers/maces/morningstars/etc are worthy of that...

I would think it to be possible, even in a reality setting. Think about when you hit something with a hollow pipe. The vibrations numb you even more than if you were to hit something with a solid object. While ive never been on the recieving end of such a blow, i would imagine it to have a similar effect, just not as great, since the target isnt holding the weapon. In the same way, i could understand how one blunt weapon could be fashioned to cause an even more painful hit than another. But then agian, this isnt reality, and i havent seen any clubs named Hollow Pipe either

iirc, there is a proprty in pnp called "heavy" or something that is to bulnt weapons what keen is to blades.

None of the HotU scrolls are dropping as of yet, regardless. You have to take those on level-up.
