So any stat the vorpal may have be it a x1 or x100, no matter what it'll still cut defense by half?

Unless Jon is holding back information, yes. VB always cuts the damage reduction in half. Only for that attack though.
another thing. if my AC is 100 and he hits me with vorpal like 4 times will it be cut down like this? 100 > 50> 25> 12.5> ? and after the fourth round i get hit with an exec; damage is calculated at the 12.5 ac mark, i gather?

It only halves for the duration of that single blow. So it won't go below 50%.
So if you have 2 tanks.... Tank #1 hits 100AC opponent with VB and that opponent is reduced to 50AC. When Tank #2 attacks, the AC is back up to 100?
Yep the AC reduction is only in effect for the vorpal blade damage.
yeah, its like comparing a light-sabre to a butter knife... Which will cut through steel better? :P

it doesn't actually lower AC, it just ignores it. think of it that way

can i claim intellectual property rights and charge people when they read it?
i dont know that "intellectual" describes me though ; )
Has anyone figured out yet if the VB halves AC on every attack or only when it goes "snicker-snack!"?
