[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6990368, member: 15700"] I said this in the other thread. Rather than a specific list of spells, the spells chose will be based on what the lich feels is best for the particular time and place of the encounter. Liches are super geniuses who have had centuries to acquire lost knowledge and magic items (that's their main goal in undeath). They have seen heroes come and go. They will most likely have seen just about everything, so they will most likely not be caught unaware of the PCs motivations and will have been prepared for them. A lich will also use its immunities to its advantage. In the other thread, I mentioned something like having a command word trap in place to where the PCs enter the lair, it gets sealed off and then filled with water, since liches don't need to breathe. If you don't have water, use some other variant of that, maybe a vacuum that sucks out all the air. A lich will also assume that anyone with basic divination spells can find it's phylactery, so it will take measures to protect it so that even with detection spells, it will not be easy to get ahold of. That means the lich comes back to get revenge in the case it is defeated. [/QUOTE]
