Vorpal Sword
Weapon (any sword that deals slashing damage), legendary (requires attunement)

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. In addition, the weapon ignores resistance to slashing damage.

When you attack a creature that has at least one head with this weapon and roll a 20 on 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 is immune to slashing damage, doesn't have or need a head, has legendary actions, or the GM decides that the creature is too big for its head to be cut off with this weapon. Such a creature instead takes an extra 6d8 slashing damage from the hit.

Applicable Weapons:

Name Type Damage Properties
 Greatsword Martial Melee 2d6 + 3 slashing Heavy, two-handed
  Longsword Martial Melee 1d8 + 3 slashing Versatile (1d10)
  Scimitar Martial Melee 1d6 + 3 slashing Finesse, light
