* {{favilink|precision nanon fingers}} reduce the 1d20 roll needed to achieve a critical hit by 2. With no other modifiers, this enables scoring a critical hit on a roll of 18, 19, or 20, for a total critical hit chance of 15%. Multiple pairs stack additively (for example, two pairs reduce the roll needed by 4, for a total critical hit chance of 25%). This bonus can also be combined additively with the bonus from [[masterwork]] or [[Weak Spotter]]. | |||
