It hits any AC on a roll of 7 + on a d20. Those who are touched by a claw die instantly unless they save versus death magic (save modified by HD/level as for breath weapon); those who are bitten are irrevocably destroyed on a roll of 10+, and die on a lower hit roll unless they save versus death magic (modified by HD/level as above).”See, there are no values given for damage at all, just “special”.  So, if the victim makes its save, does it take any damage at all?  There’s no mention if it in the book.  I feel that this effect is more like energy drain than a real physical attack; only instead of levels it just drains all the hit points.The DC for Annihilating Strike is partly based on the damage done, so if we’re going to keep that then we have to assign damage values anyway.  You would probably need this when fighting a deity or other very powerful being anyway, as they are immune to death effects.  Maybe a unique SDA will cover this ability much better?</blockquote>
