Suppose I'm a Fighter/Kensei/Demigod level 26, with the following stats:Str 26 (+8) Weapon Focus (Heavy Blade) (+3),Kensei Mastery (+4),Devastating Critical (+1d10 on a crit),+6 Vorpal Falchion (+6, +6d12 on a crit).Then I attack with Reaping Strike, which deals 2[W]+strength modifier if you hit.Hit:Total Damage: 4d4 +8 +3 +4 +6 = 4d4+21 Then, each and every 4 that comes up when I roll for damage I get to roll again and add to total damage.Critical Hit:Base damage: 16 (4x4) +8 +3 +4 +6 = 37 Critical Damage: 6d4 (high crit) +1d10 (devastating crit) +6d12 (vorpal)Total Damage: 37 +6d4 +1d10 +6d12 and I get to reroll these if they come up 4, 10 and 12 respectively.Sounds quite straight forward to me, and to me the rules are intended the same way they're written.Also, I don't understand how someone could say that a critical would be weaker than a regular hit, look at all the dice you're rolling.Finally, but not least important, magic items in 4E are balanced by their Item Level, so theorethically, a Level 30 Weapon should be as good (or as broken) as any other Level 30 Weapon. Just because Vorpal used to be insta-death on a natural 20 in 3.X, it doesn't mean it has to be this way in 4E.</blockquote>
