Banishing
Banishing
Effect: Any extraplanar creature that is hit by this weapon takes an additional 4d6 damage. Vorpal hits (natural 20, confirmed as a critical) will banish a creature from this plane of existence (i.e., the creature is instantly killed) if the target is below 1,000 hit points. If the target has more than 1,000 hit points, or is otherwise immune to instant kills (e.g., red- or purple-named bosses), they will take 100 untyped damage instead.
It should be noted that the bane damage from Banishing does not work in places where Banishing doesn't work. For example, since the devils you encounter in Amrath are native to that plane, they receive no bane damage from the Banishing effect. However, Banishing does deal extra damage against Elementals in Amrath, because they are native to the Elemental Planes, not Amrath.
This effect can be found on piercing weapons (Shortsword, Rapier, Bow, etc.) and bludgeoning weapons (Mauls, Warhammer, Handwraps), but cannot be found on randomly generated slashing weapons, though named weapons with banishing exist.
