Plus half a dozen other abilities which seemingly use minor actions to regain about 20-30 more hit points.Orcus basically has to drop the dwarf to 0 hit points four times before he'll get the confirmed kill as far as I can see. Thats before taking into account the party cleric, potions of life (full hp?) and healing surges.Remember Orcus is meant to be a solo challenge for five 33rd-level PCs.If the dwarf crits using a daily power he could end up dealing some insane amount of damage 4d10* + 80 + 9d12*...about 200 points is not out of the question.re-rolling all 1's and rolling an additional die if you roll the die's maximum.So to answer your point, I don't think Death Touch is transcendental, far from it.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I also think Orcus has the wrong hit points, he should have about 1865 not 1545.</blockquote>
