[QUOTE="UltimaGabe, post: 1969679, member: 16019"] Very basically, no magic whatsoever functions within the Antimagic field. That means any spells cast at him fail (as the field blocks all line of effects), all magic items become nonmagical while inside the field, all spells and spell-like effects (including all supernatural abilities) are suppressed and don't function inside the field. This is good and bad for the lich- no spells can be cast at him, though he can't cast spells out of it either. It provides him physical protection too, as any weapon or armor brought into the field temporarily loses any enhancement bonus (so enemies' ACs will be lower, as well as their attack bonuses), but I'd be very inclined to say that his DR (at least, the /magic part of it) doesn't function in the Antimagic field as well. According to the Monster Manual, some DR is Extraordinary (meaning that it still operates in an Antimagic Field), whereas other DR is Supernatural (meaning that it doesn't work in an Antimagic Field). No distinction is given as to what's what, though, but it would be unfair to let someone keep /magic DR in an area where no +1 weapon could possibly exist. Anyway, although it wouldn't be a bad idea for a Lich (as Liches still have considerable power without magic, if I'm not mistaken), I don't think it would be the best idea, considering that magic is kinda his main offense AND defense.
