Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rystil Arden" data-source="post: 2088661" data-attributes="member: 29014"><p>Does the group have heavy damage reduction?  If not, you could always try a maxed-out Swarm of Crystals (25d4 slashing damage, average 62.5 in a cone-shaped spread, no Save, no Attack Roll) or Crystal Shard (25d6 piercing damage, average 87.5 to a single target on a Ranged Touch attack) if you have them with the lich.  Assuming that you have Psicrystal Containment and some Metapsionic feats (because my 6th-level Telepath has those, and this lich is 25th level), you can do 17d4+17d4+17d4/2 = 106.25 damage with a Twinned-Empowered Swarm of Crystals or 17d6+17d6+17d6/2 = 148.75 damage with a Twinned-Empowered Crystal Shard, not to mention (if you're willing to spend 50 PP instead of 25) 19d4+19d4+19d4 = 142.5 with a Twinned Swarm of Crystals followed up by a Quickened Swarm of Crystals or 19d6+19d6+19d6 = 199.5 with the same strategy on a Crystal Shard.  If you can hit a good number of them with Swarm of Crystals, the Lich Queen should kill them all in two rounds or so, by herself.  And I'm sure she has the Int score to figure out how to gain maximal advantage from her Metapsionic feats.  If she has Schism as well, then she can do a bit more damage (the Schismed mind can hit at manifester level 17, so another 17d4 or 17d6, leading to a max damage of 185 per round to the whole party or 259 to a single character).  And this is just using a pair of 1st and 2nd level powers.  I'm sure she has more power than that at her command.</p></blockquote><p></p>
