Talk:Improved Critical Stacking
So unless I'm misreading something, you can buy Improved Crit (Ranged) and Improved Crit (Piercing) and they both apply to bows. My question is do they stack?

no. Improved Critical: Piercing is just for piercing melee weapons such as picks, rapiers, and shortswords.

I think the difference is in that Bows are Ranged weapon-type that do Piercing damage-type. The Improved Critical applies to the weapon type, not to the damage type. My 2-cents is that this has confused me forever as well, and I am sure that many people make wasteful feat choices because of the overlapped use of Piercing for both weapon type and damage type.

Critical bonuses[edit]
