No. Kensais still obey the normal rules for enchanting weapons in terms of bonuses...you must have a +1 bonus before you add effects. Vorpal is a +5, therefore you cannot kae your weapon Vorpal before Kensai 6.

It could work if you start with a masterwork weapon.

...no. Masterwork weapons can't be given straight abilities either.


A weapon with a special ability must have at least a +1 enhancement bonus.

...Yes? Masterwork weapons have a +1 enhancement bonus.


A masterwork weapon is a finely crafted version of a normal weapon. Wielding it provides a +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls.

No, Masterwork provides a +1 Enhancement bonus on To Hit. It is not +1 Enhancement bonus, it just provides +1 to hit, and the bonus is typed as Enhancement. +1 Enhancement Bonus is a Magic Weapon Ability that provides +1 Enhancement bonus To Hit, +1 Enhancement bonus on Damage, makes the weapon count as Magic, and increases the weapon's Hardness by 2 and HP by 10.
