Illithid in action
Fighting liches has always been a problem for me. It requires a different approach than I would apply to fighting a group of brigands, or even rogue wizards. These guys are hardcore on magic, but their main attacks generally consist of symbols and time stop. How do you get around this? Especially when you realize that blocking abjuration to avoid the time stop doesn’t work? Some say block the conjuration to avoid the symbols and do anything you can to outlast his spells, whether it be through such tactics as kiting (aggro and run out of attack range, having him chase you), or my fav: poly-morphing into a mustard jelly!
I tried this one today, and it worked for sures! 100% magic immunity, something I can appreciate about a mustard jelly for the first time! I just put Cloak of the Sewers on Minsc, made him into a mustard jelly, put a regenerate ring on him for good look and wham! Only thing that hit him was a fireball, and that was petty! Soon the lich’s defenses ran out and he was dead!
This test was done and successful with the lich in the soul prison in the Underdark. I am now going to try this tactic on other well known lich *itches
If it fails, I’ll be sure to tell you my alternate tactic.
