[QUOTE="Endur, post: 486287, member: 3346"] [b]Re: Re: NO Keen and Vorpal Weapons[/b] I find your argument unconvincing. By selecting the spell as a pre-requisite, the DMG is essentially saying that this spell must be cast on the item's materials or somehow stored by the item. Since the Keen ability requires Keen Edge and the Vorpal ability requires Keen Edge and Death Spell, combining both abilities runs into the stacking problem (i.e. casting two Keen Edge spells on the same weapon). This is very different from combining Keen Edge with the various Burst Weapons or Thunder weapons. The Burst weapons, even though their special ability is only activated on a critical (similar to vorpal), do not have Keen Edge as a pre-requisite. Therefore, you can stack Keen and Icy Burst on the same weapon. But you can't stack Keen and Vorpal (overlap, but not stack). Tom [/QUOTE]
