Notes

• Although the description says "all nearby creatures", the damage actually only applies to enemies.
• As this inevitably kills the creature that triggers it, this passive and Non-Lethal Attacks are mutually exclusive. Enabling either one will disable the other automatically.
• This can be triggered multiple times on a single creature in rapid succession, if the effect that brings it below the hit point threshold has multiple distinct sources of damage (e.g. if the creature is hit by more than one dart from a single casting of  Magic Missile).
• On kill effects like Elixir of Bloodlust and The Deathstalker Mantle will not trigger if killed by this power.
