[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8429883, member: 7023887"] In my world, Vecna's greatest vulnerability is the Sword of Kas, but in order for it to defeat him, someone really, really powerful has to be wielding it (Kas, an Archangel or other creature with about equal power, an Epic Level Character, etc), and the death of the god this way would probably be catastrophic enough that it would kill both the wielder of the sword, Vecna, as well as destroy the Sword of Kas. However, there's also the matter of his Phylactery (which I've deemed a "Mega-Phylactery" as it needs to be capable to taking in thousands of souls daily due to all of his follower that die, as well as hold the soul of a God. The easiest way to weaken Vecna would be to somehow deprive him of his influx of souls, but his Mega-Phylactery is held in his fortress in the Underfell and guarded by his most powerful servant (basically a super-powerful, giant, serpent/worm-shaped Allip). So, yeah, I really like your ideas. I think it would be awesome to play in/run a campaign where the goal is to help the Raven Queen discover the location of the Sword of Kas or similar items in order to use them to slay Vecna (now that I think of it, this sorta sounds a bit similar to [ISPOILER]the end of Critical Role Season 1[/ISPOILER]).
