Anyone have a list of all the ways to auto-confirm a critical threat?

if not, what are the options?

Bless Weapon and Corrupt Weapon come to mind.

Surge of Fortune (CC) and Hunter's Mercy (SpC) help in those regards, specifically because they affect you, and not your weapon.

Magic of Eberron has a spell (can't remember the name of it!) that lasts 24 hours, lets you auto confirm a crit once during that period, which then discharges the spell.  Nice to combine with Surge of Fortune... while wielding a great pick and full power attack, of course.  ;)

Dolorous Blow auto-confirms and also doubles the crit range.

Auto confirm spells
Bless Weapon
Corrupt Weapon
Curse of Arrow Attraction
Distort Weapon
Dolorous Blow
Exacting Shot
Hunter's Mercy
Sense Weakness

Other spells related to criticals
Burning Sword
Critical Strike
Humanoid Essence (+Greater)
Jagged Tooth
Keen Edge
Spark of Life
Spikes
Weapon Of Energy
Weapon of Impact

Other spells
Surge of Fortune - treat as nat 20, so it's always a threat
True Strike - a +20 will probably be enough to confirm the crit, even if it's not auto-confirm

I'm sure there's also feats, but since Captnq hasn't put together a complete list (yet), I can't easily search all of them.
