[QUOTE="Tinner, post: 5827488, member: 19667"] Go with the Bard. Play as a support unit/backup healer. Use Dispel Magic to counter the Lich's spellcasting. Spring attack around the battlefield setting up flanking and fighting with your keen rapier. Buff the party with Bardic performances, and judicious use of Moment of Greatness. After you kill the lich, be sure to use Treasure Map to find out where all his best loot is stashed. Here's the build I would go with ...
