You like high-power games, then?

I'd say the current body is dead.  -10 x HT means that a body is
completely destroyed.  It regenerates 15 hp/turn, but the 6d6 flame
jet does an average of 21 points of damage/turn, or 7 points/turn
above regeneration.  For ten minutes, that's 4200 points of damage,
well in excess of the 825 required to destroy the body utterly
(assuming you're starting from no damage).  If that doesn't do it,
nothing will.
