Vorpal Crits

[Zurai]

And they still are.

Keep in mind that a +X Vicious Weapon is in no other way different than a "regular" +X Weapon other than the critical.

That's the main attractive in it. It deals huge amounts of damage on criticals.

Vorpal is not different. It is still lethal on a crit, as they always been, except that now they're also lethal when you don't crit.

OK, let me rephrase for the people that intentionally miss the point.

Vorpal weapons have always been the single weapon you don't want to get crit by. They're the most lethal crit weapon. They really aren't, anymore, if you take the convoluted "rolls are rolls except when they aren't rolls but they still allow you to add stuff that's only added to rolls" interpretation.

They still are the most lethal crit weapon. 6d12 with exploding d12s is strictly better than plain 6d12.

Let me reiterate - vorpal was BAD in 3e, overpriced and of limited utility. Vorpal is amazing and hands down the best in 4e.

I think your fondness of snickersnack, off goes the head, is clouding your judgement of the rules on this one.

And this.

Obviously, I'm not the one missing the point here.

Ah yes, I remember why I stopped responding to this thread, now. Less rules debates and more snerts.

I'm really beginning to dislike the way they phrased the rule for critical hits. It creates soooo many inconsistencies and potential problems.
