Item: Vorpal
Originally created as a means of slaying the legendary jabberwock, vorpal weapons prove equally effective against nearly any foe with a head.
Activate—Snicker-Snack R (concentrate, death, incapacitation)
Trigger You roll a natural 20 on a Strike with the weapon against a creature that has a head, critically succeed, and deal slashing damage.
Effect The target must succeed at a DC 37 Fortitude save or be decapitated. This kills any creature except ones that don't require a head to live. For creatures with multiple heads, this usually kills the creature only if you sever its last head.
Trait Effects

In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
