A while ago, on both this site and Monte Cook's boards, there was some discussion regarding the minimum caster to create a vorpal weapon. I don't want to open a can of worms here, but was that issue ever resolved.
Basically, the DMG says that when creating a magic weapon, the creator's level must be 3x the weapon's enhancement bonus. It states something to the effect that, if it has a special ability, then you take the higher of the two.
This led some to believe that a +1 vorpal longsword would require a maker of at least 15th level. The logic here is that vorpal is equivalent to a +5 bonus, and it has a +1 enhancement bonus. The highest here is +5, and 3*5 is 15.
There was supposedly some errata associated with all this, but no one could ever remember exactly what it said. So...what the ever came of this? Or should I just E-mail Skip instead?
