Vorpal is a brand which any weapon may have. Melee weapons with the vorpal brand do extra damage of at least 1 and up to 33% each hit, averaging +16.6%. Ranged weapons do an average of 20% more damage. This bonus is applied after AC, so it has an equal effect for both fast and slow weapons.
Vorpal weapons are inferior damage-wise to most other brands, but versatile because nothing can resist the extra damage.
