# Vorpal Sword *Legendary (requires attunement)*  You gain a +3 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. In addition, the weapon ignores [Resistance](Assets/5ETools/rules/variant-rules/resistance-xphb.md) to Slashing damage. When you use this weapon to attack a creature that has at least one head and roll a 20 on the `d20` for the attack roll, you cut off one of the creature's heads. The creature dies if it can't survive without the lost head. A creature is immune to this effect if it has [Immunity](immunity-xphb.md) to Slashing damage, if it doesn't have or need a head, or if the DM decides that the creature is too big for its head to be cut off with this weapon. Such a creature instead takes an extra 30 Slashing damage from the hit. If the creature has Legendary [Resistance](Assets/5ETools/rules/variant-rules/resistance-xphb.md), it can expend one daily use of that trait to avoid losing its head, taking the extra damage instead. **Variants**: - [Vorpal Glaive](#Vorpal%20Glaive) - [Vorpal Greatsword](#Vorpal%20Greatsword) - [Vorpal Longsword](#Vorpal%20Longsword) - [Vorpal Scimitar](#Vorpal%20Scimitar) ### Vorpal Glaive - **Damage**: 1d10 S - **Properties**: [Heavy](item-properties.md#Heavy), [Reach](item-properties.md#Reach), [Two-Handed](item-properties.md#Two-Handed) - **Weight**: 6.0 lbs. ### Vorpal Greatsword - **Damage**: 2d6 S - **Properties**: [Heavy](item-properties.md#Heavy), [Two-Handed](item-properties.md#Two-Handed) - **Weight**: 6.0 lbs. ### Vorpal Longsword - **Damage**: - One-handed: 1d8 S - Two-handed: 1d10 S - **Properties**: [Versatile](item-properties.md#Versatile) - **Weight**: 3.0 lbs. ### Vorpal Scimitar - **Damage**: 1d6 S - **Properties**: [Finesse](item-properties.md#Finesse), [Light](item-properties.md#Light) - **Weight**: 3.0 lbs. *Source: Dungeon Master's Guide (2024) p. 318*
