Mirror Image might not fully protect you, but if you're mirrored you got a good chance not YOU get hit, but just an image and the vampires level drain goes wasted. If you got 4 mirrors for example your chance to get hit is narrowed down by 80%, which is pretty decent.

actually, it doesnt work like that. even if the vamp hits the image, your mage gets level drained. it may have been intended to work like you mentioned, but it doesnt. sucks, dont it?

There are a few people in Athkatla who point the way. I believe one of them is that scroll selling witch in the Adv. Mart

Well, if you have NPP on like I said, then stoneskins and mirror image would be a valid defense against vampires =)

Don't forget to turn undead!

Yet another way to handle vamps: have one person draw their fire, then just run around. Give the other five chars missile weapons and begin target practice. You'll often get lucky: the vamp can't quite hit the runner, but keeps chasing him. If you're not lucky, you may get tagged a couple of times, in which case you go to a temple and get restored (or cast Lesser Restoration, which you might have by that level).

which requires pretty high level clerics. His problem is that he's still rather low on levels or else he would just chew these three vamps up with his tanks and get a restoration at the temple afterwards (if needed).

I suspect that Daystar might be hard for him to get at this point, too.

Getting Daystar is fairly easy at any level. All you need is an invisible character with a mediocre lockpicking score. Sneak in - steal Daystar - flee.
Alternatively you can use sunray, but there's no guarantee it will take ut the lich.

EDIT] swapped "pickpocket for "lockpicking". Nasty typo ;) thx to Sonic for pointing it out [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
