Vorpal swords are +5, not +3. Filthy casual...
mrhardy12
Nice Jabberwocky reference in the title.

Oh, frabjous day!! Callooh, callay!

But a vorpal Sword cannot be enhanced. A + anything vorpal is a cheated item. shame :<
AFistfulOfDollHairs
When fi sees the master sword
Denamic
I mean, it's a vorpal sword. Ignores resistance and has a 5% chance to just instantly decapitate anything that's decapitateable.

vorpal sword suxorz, Lilarcor ftw

Kill a rich man. Then.. .kill another rich man! Hack and slash our way to riches!
MasterGibly
Upvote due to the actually correct term of “Envious” being used rather then “Jealousy.” Enjoy the useless internet point.
tpgreyknight
I didn't create this but will add this useless internet point to my collection anyway.
Notracistgrandpa
Is the vorpal sword a reference to the Jabberwocky or a reference to dnd which references the Jabberwocky.
tpgreyknight
A reference to D&D, which references Jabberwocky (no "the" in the title)

tpgreyknight
Yes, but on a natural 20 it will cut off your "head".
RednaxDDeneith
And that's where you ask the DM if there's a ritual to transfer the ego to the +3 Vorpal sword. That's a plot hook if I've ever heard one.
tpgreyknight
This is like asking your significant other to get breast enhancement. Unlikely to go down well.
dontrike
Who wants their thicc broadsword to be some measly rapier?
RednaxDDeneith
Vorpal requires that it be slashing. The specific mechanic is if you roll well enough, it chops off heads.
Dracongield
and a good way to get stabbed by your own sword
Ranion7
A correct use of jealous and envious!
mikeatike
Liracor + Minsc = best combination

Brilliant. I demand more DND versions of memes!

Not exactly what you were looking for but still funny!
Lavastar129
:3 good enough for now
FiveToesRight
Thanks to you I wasted air. Take my upvote
ideologist
That is exquisite, you will have my spork
LinkWieldsTheTriforceOfCourage
There's a lot of shit that can't be instagibbed by Vorpal Swords but a properly sated intelligent weapon will kill just about anything.
jethroismaxbaer5772
Oh, not Jabberwocky vorpal. One, two, through and through, the vorpal blade went snicker-snack.
QueenCousland
Pretty much a guarenteed decapitation.
Denamic
So will vorpal swords, even if you can't instagib it. +3 and ignoring resistances is nothing to scoff at.
sudokori
But hey, I’m 5e you just get to do an extra 6d6 damage to the thing. Pretty rad regardless. Also it’s a +3 sword at base.
Dagordae
5e it's a decap on a 20 with an extra 6d8 if the decap wouldn't kill it. Or if it's a legendary creature or too big for it to work
FiveToesRight
Including your party and yourself
HieronymousFlex
DM dropped me a vorpal warhammer once. I chose not to question it.
braaaiiiiinnnnsss
"You hit the orc incredibly fucking hard... his head flies off." - See? It works.
Denamic
Well, some creatures don't die when decapitated. That gimmick doesn't work as well when the head's disintegrated.
slvrscoobie
But... it’s a vorpal sword!
SharkSlayer
Legendary tier weapon that decapitates on a natural 20. This instantly kills a lot of things as to be expected.
Dagordae
And sentient weapons tend to be more trouble than they are worth. Unless you have a particularly nice DM.
Rapiecage
yeah, vorpal isn't very useful unless you're straight up cheating the rolls
Narfwak
That depends. If you have a solid way of generating advantage and make *lots* of attack rolls it'll hit the 20 a lot.
Lastxittoforever
The goal is to get Vorpal on a weapon with an expanded crit range and keen property. Some weapons can hit 16-20 for their crit range.
Kholek42
Vorpal only works on a Nat 20. Not just any crit. 5th changed crits to only workon a 20, but there are a couple ways to crit on 19
qtRaven
My overpowered broken Pathfinder Elven Bladesinger wielding a rapier thinks that is lame!
Lastxittoforever
Ah yeah, I keep forgetting that as I'm still preferential to the pathfinder system b/c of how expansive it is.
kaikao
Assassination rogue with a vorpal weapon multiclass into fighter for the action surges and extra attacks
SpazzyP
Acthually... it wouldn’t work. It says when you roll a 20, not when you crit. So even a fighter that crits on a 19 wouldn’t work either.
kaikao
That’s true but the fighter multi attack and action surge gives the extra dice rolls coupled with assassinations advantage on enemies (1)
ShowMeBunnies
But it's also +3.
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
Yeah but a sentient sword is probably at minimum +2 if not +3 or higher.
Lastxittoforever
Can't go higher than +3 in 5e DnD, at least not without adjusting the ruleset a bit.
Uniqueusername77
Iirc it's mentioned in the creating artifacts section of the DMD they can go up to +4 although tbh +X is about as boring an enchant possible
Lastxittoforever
Right, theres so many more interesting affixes you can get.
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
Rules? You mean guidelines.
Lastxittoforever
Exactly, but all of the manuals are still called "Rulesets" regardless of which game system you are using. I Have DM'd in over 15+ systems.
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
Nobody said anything about 5E.
Lastxittoforever
The comic above is pretty plainly based on 5th ed. Sentient weapons pre 5e technically required at least +3 enhance, 5e weps could be +2.
