Instant death: Difference between revisions

While usually creatures in Qud [[Death|die only by taking sufficient damage]], some methods of death bypass damage altogether and kill regardless of how much [[HP]] one has.

Some methods kill the player even if they are currently [[Domination|dominating]] another creature and that creature is the one affected. These have a “Yes” in the “Kills dominator?” column.

A lack of message in the “Message” column indicates that instead of the usual “You died. [Message]” dialog, that method gives the fallback “You die! (good job)” dialog, which happens when no death message is specified in the code that causes the death.
