This potent and feared ability allows the weapon to sever the limbs of those it strikes. A vorpal weapon must be a slashing melee weapon.
Upon a roll of natural 20 the weapon automatically confirms the critical and delivers a special critical called a Vorpal Strike. A Vorpal Strike cuts off, or attempts to cut off, a major limb of the attacked creature.
To simulate this, on a natural 20 confirmed critical, a Vorpal weapon inflicts the Maimed condition in addition to the normal damage of the attack. Note that you cannot inflict Maimed more than once on the same creature.
Note: Creatures that are immune to critical damage still take normal critical damage on all confirmed criticals from a Vorpal weapon, but they cannot gain the Maimed condition via a the Vorpal Strike.
