I thought about it for a while, and just want to know what the others think of this?

Ingredients:
----
Impaler +3
Halcyon Spear +1
Cloak of Reflection
Rogue Stone
20,000 Gold

Impaler +4

The Impaler has a palpable aura of magic that hints at the vicious nature of the weapon and why it has been a favorite of several powerful orc chieftains in the past. When a victim is struck they are, as one would guess, very nearly impaled, run through as the massive enchantment does its dirty work. This weapon has been upgraded by < CHARNAME > into a vorpal weapon.

STATISTICS

Equipped Abilities: Immunity to Electricity( aka +100% Electrical Resistance)

Combat Abilities: 15% chance for each hit whereby the opponent must save vs death with a -4 penalty or suffer instant death.

THAC0: +4 bonus
Damage: 1D6 +4, +10 piercing damage, +4 electrical damage
Damage type: piercing
Weight: 3
Speed Factor: 3
Proficiency Type: Spear
Type: 2-handed
Requires: 5 Strength
Not Usable By:
Cleric
Mage
Thief

----

I think it can be justified as a vorpal weapon. The idea of being 'impaled' by this bad mofo and dying in one hit is certainly plausible, and even if you survive, your guts are still spilling out all over the place due to the inherent mega damage.

As always, comments are welcome. [img]smile.gif[/img]
