Line 173:
** '''Blasphemy''', '''Holy Word''', '''Word of Chaos''', and '''Dictum''' are all alignment-based spells that brutalize targets of the other alignment with negative status effects. However, if you are a certain number of Hit Dice (a measure of hit points) below the caster, you just drop dead, no save. Most of the game's most famous antagonists (The various Archfiends, for example) have these abilities ''built in''.
** The ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' setting adds '''Undeath to Death''', which is a 6th level "Will save or die" specifically keyed to [[Undead]], available to both clerics and arcanists.
** [http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/monk.htm Monks] have a move called [[Touch of Death|Quivering Palm]] which allows them a one hit kill (a remotely activated one hit kill no less). Its uses, however, are annoyingly limited ("Once per '''''week?!'''''
** As for Weapon Properties: a lucky shot from a Vorpal weapon will decapitate its target (which usually kills it), a Disrupting weapon will take out undead (as long as they fail a fairly lousy Will save -- but since you can whack them over and over, they have about 3-4 rounds till they fail their save), and the overpriced Epic weapon property Dread will take someone out on a lucky shot as long as they fail a piddly (or at least, piddly compared to any creature you plan on facing) save.
** Certain weapons can also deliver One Hit Kills upon hitting certain targets. The Hammer of Thunderbolts, if you've met all the requirements to bring it to full power, can kill any giant instantly upon a failed save.
