I'd look at wands, most don't require attunement. Maybe he has some wands that he's willing to discharge all the charges at once like a wand of magic missiles and a wand of fireballs.Thank you, these are some great suggestions!
I think for the three attunement slots, the items should be a Robe of the Archmagi, a Staff of Power, and Bracers of Defense. These three combined make liches way harder to hit (AC 22!) and make them more likely to hit, hit harder, and avoid magical effects.
The ring of three wishes is obviously a curve ball that Szass can essentially use for anything, but I would probably as the DM nto abuse it too hard, so that it's used to supplant any 9th level spell, or to give Szass all the benefits of taking a long rest (ie completely heals and regains all spell slots).
Szass Tam (CR 22 Lich)
If in his lair, I would also give him a Sphere of Annihilation. I will take a look at some of the named items in the 3E FR Campaign Book too, if I really want to make this fellow even more nasty.
- Has Robe of the Archmagi, Staff of Power, Bracers of Defense, Ring of Three Wishes
- AC 22, HP 153
- Saving Throws: STR +2, DEX +5, CON +13, INT +14, WIS +11, CHA +5
- Spell save DC 22, Spell attack of +16, +2 damage
- Advantage on saves against spells/magical effects
Any other items he may want, that don't use attunement slots? Or an item with an attunement slot that is more useful than the three I picked?
Just checked and the wand if fireball does need attunement. Maybe he has a couple of the magic missile wands in standby though
