I personaly think the vorpal weapons should not allow a saving throw, but should deal much less (ie. half) as much damage as there normal counterparts. And only have vorpal hits on 10 - 20 percent of the succesful hits.
If the silver sword had vorpal hits 15 percent of the time, no save, but only dealt 1d4+1 damage on normal strikes, it would be a very formidable weapond indeed.

1D4 is the attack modifier for a dagger. I think it should be at 1d6 +1 seeing how a dagger does 1d4, and a regular two handed sword does 1d10, then 6 is a nice midpoint, unless you would chose 1d7 (which I have not seen yet in a weapon)
