I hope that damage dice for normal ammuition has been increased too. 
Othervise fire brand would be just tiny 12 points more with heavy 
crossbow. You make a lot more with melee.

Seeker arrows are not so bad after that. Plain seeker arrow would be 
better than branded normal and mithril is even game.

Critical hits should also be tweaked. Currently difference between good 
and excellent critical is 5 points *total*, and you can't get suberb 
critical at all.
