Killing Blow

A Killing Blow is any Hit DamageHit DamageAny damage that isn't damage over time is Hit damage. Damaging Ailments which result from a Hit will calculate their damage from that Hit, and will not subsequently have Damage modifiers applied directly to them. As a result of this, raising Hit Damage will result in more powerful Damaging Ailments innately. which successfully reduces a target to zero Life, killing them. Damage over time cannot cause Killing Blows.
