XP 10000 GP 40000 Similar but superior to a [[Sword of Sharpness]], a vorpal sword has a +3 bonus to attack and damage roll s. Check the ta ble below to determine whether an at tack roll is good enough to sever the head from the neck of an opponent, considering only the sword's bonus of+3: | Opponent is | Mod Score to sever | | ---------------------- | ------------------ | | Normal/Armored | 20-23 (17-20) | | Larger than Human Size | 21-23 (18-20) | | Solid Metal or Stone | 22-23 (19-20) | Note that many creatures have no heads or can change their form, and therefore cannot suffer decapitation. There are also creatures that have heads but will not necessarily be killed by decapitalian (among these are dopplegangers, elementa ls, and golems).
