For example, a fighter in my party recently vorpaled the head off an ancient blue dragon in the first round of combat (talk about aggravating). The dragon is size Gargantuan or Colossal, so how does a vorpal weapon sever the head? My group and I have ruled that in the case of something like a dragon it is possible because they have long necks and snake their heads down into reach in order to bite at the characters. But what if your characters have to fight some immense humanoid giant? How would they possibly be able to vorpal its head off unless they were flying? One of the party members has joked that somehow the magic of a vorpal sword causes the head to fall off regardless of where you strike the monster (so a shot to the sandalled toe causes the head to fly off), but we don't really take that suggestion seriously.</p></blockquote><p></p>
