[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 465945, member: 2829"] OK. I gotcha now. You would like to see vorpal become an epic-only enhancement, right? This version demands that the epic level rules be used. If you do use the epic level rules, it would cost roughly 2,002,000 gold pieces to have a +1 vorpal weapon. That's almost half the wealth available to a 30th level rogue. A 30th level rogue has Sneak Attack +15d6, but then you still have to factor in Strength damage, enhancement bonuses, etc. Right off the bat, your version of Vorpal is doing far more damage than mine when you multiply the damage by 2 (15d6 sneak attack x 2 = 30d6). So, if yours is a +10, then mine is most certainly lower, or yours needs to be higher. Nevermind. No offense intended, I swear, but it's not worth the effort. I'm not upset or anything, but I'd rather not repeat myself if I don't have to. Like I said though, I think you need to take a much closer look at the damage your version of vorpal deals. It's a lot! :) [/QUOTE]
