Vorpal
This rune turns a lucky, well-placed slashing blow into a potential beheading against nearly anything with a neck to sever.
Originally created as a means of slaying the legendary jabberwock, vorpal weapons prove equally effective against nearly any foe with a head.

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.
