Line 230:
** Having The Computer find out you're an actual full-blown Communist. Or a [[Technopath|machine empath]] (It ''really'' hates being manipulated that way).
* Getting a natural 20 on an attack in ''[[Hong Kong Action Theatre]]'' is not only an automatic hit, but an instant kill or KO for any character of Moderate importance or below, depending on what weapon you're using and what your intentions are. If you get a natural 20 on a Major importance character (such as all player characters) or above, he or she is entitled to a Toughness roll in order to take normal damage instead.
* ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]]'' has several different levels of [[One-Hit Kill]]. On the lower end, we have Yig the snake god, whose instant kill can be dodged or parried and is ineffective if you're wearing some sort of armor it can't go through. Above this, there's the Dhole, which is the size of a battleship, so its attack can't be parried and ignores armor. And then we have [[One-Hit Polykill|Cthu]][[Instant Death Radius|lhu]] . . .
* ''[[FATAL]]'': the namesake spell causes ''[[Kill'Em All|every living thing in the game universe]]'' to die. In one hit. Of course, it's ''FATAL'', [[Mercy Killing|so.]]
* If you roll a 01 in combat in ''[[Unknown Armies]]'' you automatically kill your target (or knock him out, if you so choose.)
Line 530:
* Emissions in ''[[S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (series)|STALKER]] Clear Sky'' and ''Call of Pripyat''. They are one-hit kills, except in Call of Pripyat if you have Marked by the Zone achievement ({{spoiler|Survive emission three times without taking cover, it's possible with special pills called ''Anabiotics''}}) and enough health, but even then, it will leave you with just 2-3 bars of health, and you will pass out.
** More mundanely, headshots will kill most human enemies with one blow. The RPG and Gauss Gun take this to the next level; they will kill almost ''anything'' in one hit. Good luck finding ammunition, though.
* ''[[
** [[Collision Damage|Touching Andrei Ulmeyda.]] He's the boss of the third chapter.
** The demonic black Smiles during the boss battle of the sixth chapter. In fact, six of the seven Smith members die inevitably because of them. Luckily, Garcian then grabs the ultra-powerful Golden Gun to kill the remaining Smile, as well as the boss himself, in one shot each. From there to the end of the game, he can kill with one shot any Smile (except the final boss, [[Anticlimax Boss|though it still goes down after five shots]]), without even having to aim at their weak points.
