It's not
that unlikely. Consider
Redbone the Swift. He has DR 4 and 15 HP, so he'll be reduced to 0 HP by the average result of a 4d cutting attack or a 5d+2 crushing attack. He does 3d6+6, so among the foes that oneshot him on a successful attack are himself. Looking through monsters, the following basically only need one successful attack:
- as-Sharak: fire breath is expected injury 14.5, so 0 hp half the time (and as a cone, probably just hits). Water and Sand aren't as high basic damage, but have a good chance of applying a status effect that takes him out of the fight (paralyzed or blinded).
- Ciuacla: expected injury, including follow-up, is 16.
- Crushroom: 4d probably doesn't directly reduce below 0 (expected injury 10), but it's a ST 40 grapple, and one round later it's a constriction attack with ST 40, which will one-shot most characters (vs Redbone, expected injury is 21)
- Dragon: medium can do 4d+2 cutting or impaling 3x/round (expected injury 18).
- Draug: 4d+2 cut, expected injury 18.
- Giant Ape: 5d+3 crush, expected injury 16.5. Or it can grapple and follow up with a spike or squeeze.
- Ice Wyrm: 4d+1 cutting bite, or breath weapon with paralysis effect.
- Lich: it's a magery 6 spellcaster.
- Peshkali: expected injury per hit is 14 -- but it attacks 6 times.
- Siege Beast: expected injury 18.5
- Stone Golem: maul expected 14.5, sword expected 18.75
- Sword Spirit: sword expected 15
