Vorpal Sword II (Magic Sword)

Similar but superior to a sword of sharpness, a vorpal sword has a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls. Check the table below to determine whether an attack roll is good enough to sever the neck/head of the opponent, considering only the sword's bonus of +3:
Opponent is 	Modified scoreto sever*
normal/armored 	20-23
larger than man-sized	21-23
solid metal or stone 	22-23
: * Considering only the sword's bonus of +3.
Note that many creatures have no heads or can change their form and, therefore, cannot suffer decapitation. There are also creatures that have heads but will not necessarily be killed by decapitation (among these are dopplegangers, elementals, and golems).
