[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 486258, member: 2829"] [b]Re: NO Keen and Vorpal Weapons[/b] This is incorrect. There is nothing stating that Vorpal and Keen will not both function on the same weapon. This isn't applicable to the discussion. The [i]keen edge[/i] spell is simply a prerequisite for the crafting of the item. Vorpal in no way whatsoever duplicates the effects of keen. Similar powers generally don't stack, that's true, but these are not similar powers at all. A keen vorpal weapon does not have keen on it twice. Only once. The bless weapon spell has nothing to do with keen or vorpal weapons at all. The spell description for bless weapon is merely stating that it doesn't affect a weapon with keen or vorpal on it. Bless weapon has nothing to do with this topic. The bless weapon spell also does not say anything about keen and vorpal not stacking with each other, only that bless weapon doesn't stack with either one. Some people house rule that keen and vorpal do not stack because they feel it is too powerful of a combination, and I do agree with that assessment in regards to the Vorpal enhancement in the DMG.
