Hopefully there isn't some other pre-existing enchantment from a splat-book with this name..
What it does:
While a weapon imbued with this enchantment can no longer take life, it still hurts. Attacks made with the weapon deal normal damage; however, the weapon cannot reduce a victim below 0 HP. A Coup de Grace made with an incapacitating weapon reduces the victim to 0 HP. An attack made against a target at 0 HP or lower deals no damage.
Undead and Constructs, neither of which are actually alive, can be destroyed normally with the weapon.
If for whatever reason a DM allows Vorpal in his or her campaign, and then for some bizarre reason a person makes an Incapacitating Vorpal weapon, a successful critical results in the Vorpal enchantment overriding the Incapacitating enchantment and thus kills the target.
Caster Level: 9; Pre-requisites: Craft Magic Arms & Armor, hold monster, cost: +1
