Not a roll = no rerolling max dice since it's not even a roll (talking about vorpal here) but determining max dmg we could have rolled tells ya to add the bonus dmg due to feats, stats, etc as if you had rolled but only for the purpose of the determination, it's doesn't mean it's a roll as the 1st part of the text clearly states.There is always a thousand ways to interpret words, even simple and clear words known to all. It's all about culture. Anyway, to me the text is simple and clear and leaves no doubt, especially when you have the background knowledge of how 4E is built and how it's power level curves at this or that lvl. If one would say that the text isnt clear (it is, but for some it isn't), just look at items of similar lvl. Making the vorpal do max+roll+crit dice would make it way beyond other items of it's lvl especially when used with 7[W] or 5[W] powers which are common at that lvl of play.</blockquote>
