    You are supposed to protect Yourself against magic.. :D Ehh. That's about it. Protect the character who has a meelee weapon that can hit him. And start hack him down. IT would be best if You have a beserker that can "rage" and get immune to imprisonment

    You need to cast Protection from Magic on the person (preferably someone with a low thaco) who has a weapon that can hit the lich, i.e +5 or some such.

    It shouldn't matter whether they can cast magic or not. They will be protected from the lich's magic while they bludgeon, slash, pierce him to death.

    Hold the rest of your party back if you must.

    Any other questions?

    Tsk, don't you know anything :rolleyes:
    Oh well, basically all you need to know is that the northwestern coastal regions experience descending air, and the resultant aridity can be severe, some places receiving less than 20 inches (500 millimetres) of rainfall annually. La Guaira, for example, receives an average of only 11 inches. Rain shadow areas behind coastal and upland ranges also receive little rain, while their corresponding windward slopes are generally well watered. Inland, the Llanos and the southern interior of the country generally receive sufficient rainfall to support tropical savanna, lush tropical rain forest (selva), and cultivated cropland and grassland pastures.

    tsk some peopl just don't seem to know even the most basic of information ;)

    Otiluke's Resilient Sphere

    Type: Defense, hindrance
    Strategy: This spell has many many uses. Creating a sphere around the target that lets no damage pass through, this spell can be used offensively and
    defensively. Assuming the spell is not resisted, it can be cast on one creature out of a mob to let you deal with the others first. This spell can be cast on enemy spellcasters to prevent them from casting on you. Also, this spell can
    be used to shield an ailing party member. The possibilities are endless.


    from some guide I got somwhere....

    Spudsquisher is quite right to be confused. The protection from magic scrolls should prevent an enemy from casting spells, but should still be able to be damaged by weapons (once protections wear off). Anyway, I have no idea why that didn't work. It works on other liches, although I've never tried the tecnique on Kangaax himself.

    The enchantment level must be +4 or better; normally a weapon that has different bonuses vs. different monsters has an enchantment level of the lowest bonus...

    Maybe its cause kangaxx's spells are special abilities such as the illithid stuff. His imprisonment is long ranged and he has the demilich howl. Maybe thats why the protection from magic scroll didnt work. I dont really kno, i just used it(gasp) on myself and beat him with a stick i bought from ribald.
