Running a Dracolich

[Upper_Krust]

Any suggestions for avoiding necrotic resistance without eliminating it outright?

What about having his attacks scour the necrotic resistance off his opponents?

Either have Necrotic Resistance lowered by the same amount as the damage or perhaps by a flat figure of 10 (or 20) per hit.

Or add an addition condition on anything that's necrotic resistant.

The most important thing for a dragon is to have an at-will ranged attack, preferably minor and which doesn't provoke OA's. That way it can better keep the pressure on the casters, while being pinned down by the defender. At least I have found it makes for better combats in my group.

God point. A solo tied to the defender is not much of a threat, until it takes out the defender,

I heartily recommend a way for him to shed conditions. If I were designing a dracolich, I'd probably give him a 'no action' option to lose 10% of his full HP in order to end a condition (the flavor is that he channels the negative condition into a few of his bones, then rips them out), and take out one of his nasty stunning attacks, replacing it with an attack that transfers a condition on him to the target.

Solos are stupidly vulnerable to conditions.
