except in that scenario You literally can never end the damage roll, and thus never do damage.

Re-read the features. its quite hilarious

EDIT: I was actually talking about the Battle engineer + vorpal dagger deal so nvm.

Vorpal d4 with brutal 1 does Sum(i=0..inf) 3/(3^i) damage -> Converges to 4.5
Vorpal d4 without brutal 1 does Sum(i=0..inf) 2.5/(4^i) damage -> converges to 3.33
d4 with brutal 1 does (2+4)/2 = 3
d4 does (1+4)/2 = 2.5

Vorpal d12 with brutal 1 does Sum(i=0..inf) 7/(11^i) damage -> Converges to 7.7
Vorpal d4 without brutal 1 does Sum(i=0..inf) 6.5/(12^i) damage -> converges to 7.1
d12 with brutal 1 does (2+12)/2 = 7

The Ruthless Ruffian build was supposed to focus on using maces but frankly I have yet to even hear of anyone building one and playing it.

For the record, we had a dwarven rogue with the ruthless ruffian build in my campaign. He was the party's cook, so he flavored his weapons as frying pans.
