[QUOTE="Epametheus, post: 486202, member: 719"] Both the Vorpal enchantment and the Coup de Grace enchantment are banned in my group's campaign(s). Or more accurately, only artifacts may have either enchantment. But if it's the freaking Sword of Kas... Hmmm. Instant of instant death, it has x8 crit multiplier and can critical things normally immune to being critted? As some demonstration of raw power, you could have the guy walk up to a castle and power-attack-crit the wall for 500 or so damage, smashing the entire wall to bits. The Sword of Kas should be an NPC of its own right, and they should be horribly afraid of screwing with anyone that it's chosen to be weilded by. But seriously, they just need to look at getting masterwork (or mithril, for the arcane casters) bucklers that are +1 with the Moderate or Heavy Fortification enchantment. As awful as it sounds, complete immunity to crits and sneak attack costs only 36165 gold. It's only 16165 if they're willing to settle for 75% immunity. Lame, no? And yeah, you SHOULD have the uber-safety net of True Res by this point. [/QUOTE]
