DESCRIPTION
This ability can only be placed on a slashing melee weapon.
This potent and feared ability allows the weapon to sever the heads of those it strikes.
Upon a roll of natural 20 (followed by a successful roll to confirm the critical hit), the weapon severs the opponent’s head (if it has one) from its body. Some creatures, such as many aberrations and all oozes, have no heads. Others, such as golems and undead creatures other than vampires, are not affected by the loss of their heads. Most other creatures, however, die when their heads are cut off. If you roll this special ability randomly for an inappropriate weapon, reroll.
