It's an unreliable enchantment, which few people seriously consider using, compared to the cost of actually getting it. On one hand, you instantly kill most of the opposition on a natural 20, strings attached only if your opponent doesn't need a head. On the other hand, how many times do people roll a 20 in the course of a game when you really needed it? And it has a +5 modifier, which is pricey even when you hit Epic levels.Have DMs ever used it before outside of Balors and Solars? Does anyone have funny stories about the multitude of 20s one has rolled with a Vorpal weapon, or lack thereof? Does it have practical purpose in DnD, or is it an untouchable sacred cow? Should it stay a sacred cow? How many evil PCs have fallen before the +5 Dancing Vorpal Greatswords of the Solars, or more likely, how many PCs have suddenly been seeking Lewis Carroll's last famous work at the end of a Balor's +1 large Vorpal Longsword? What would you change about the great Decapitiator of weapons?Go!</blockquote>
