You do realize that there is no enemy that can one-shot you from full health in one hit, right? As far as I am aware, the absolute most damage you can take in one hit is 49 (not counting getting knocked into lava). This requires:
1) Running into an Elite Former Commando (which only shows up in UV/N! Military Base or Ao100/ArAo666 in levels 80+)
2) Having said commando be equipped with a Napalm Launcher (3 different weapons)
3) Getting hit for max damage (It deals 7d7 damage, so max of 49).
And even then, you have 50 health at max, so even that cannot one-shot you.

Unless...flamewolf, are you not, by any chance, getting one-shotted on Angel of Humanity mode?

Flamewolf, I just want to say, for the record, that I can identify with what you're feeling.  I once threw a tantrum over losing a game in a way I deemed (at the time) unfair.

That being said, I'm also skeptical that enemies are bringing you from 100% to 0% health in one move as often as you say they are.  Could you, perhaps, be tapping arrow keys more rapidly than you realize so that it takes a few moves for them to bring you down?  Or perhaps you're not paying as close attention to your health as you think you are so that your health is low when the last guy hits you?  In any case, if this really does happen to you a lot, I strongly recommend you take levels in Ironman and Tough as Nails; they really help cut down on late game deaths.
