Vorpal (Melee Weapon Magic Property)
This potent and feared ability allows the weapon to sever the limbs of those it strikes.
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. If this amount of damage from the critical hit is enough to kill the creature, it is of course killed, and its head was struck off.
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.
