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 20% more damage. There is a 15.8% chance to brand a melee weapon and a 19% chance to brand a ranged weapon with vorpal when a scroll of brand weapon is used on a non-artifact weapon. This chance increases if the weapon already has a brand other than vorpal.
Tips & Tricks
- This brand works best on high-damage weapons, since the damage is multiplicative.
- Vorpal weapons are inferior damage-wise to most other brands, but versatile because nothing can resist the extra damage.
