Vorpal Strikes

Vorpal Strikes

• Usage: Active, Toggled Stance
• Prerequisite: Monk, class level 12, Wisdom 23, Improved Critical:Bludgeoning Weapons.

Description

Epic Feat: Your unarmed attacks and Handwraps are treated as vorpal weapons, and are now treated as slashing weapons.
(Vorpal: On an attack roll of 20 which is confirmed as a critical hit the weapon severs the opponent's head from its body. This does not affect many aberrations and all oozes, who have no heads. Golems and undead creatures other than vampires are not affected by the loss of their heads. Powerful creatures may resist the vorpal strike and instead take 100 points of damage until they have be sufficiently weakened.)
The feat can be toggled of to remove the slashing damage type from your attacks as well as the vorpal strike effekt.

Notes

• Vorpal Strikes is a Monk stance, similar to Slow Fall. The feat is switched off on character login. The stance co-exists with general stances such as Power Attack and Monk stances such as Mountain Stance.
• This ability does not make unarmed strikes considered slashing weapons in regards to Ninja Spy (No poison, no dex-to-damage or hit), it simply adds an additional damage type.
