Uh...Bob????

And I'm assuming that you mean he's the easiest lich? He seemed pretty hard, but the characters weren't too experianced. It's actually my brother's game, and his party consists of level 9-11 characters. We tried to kill him twice, then my brother decided to give in to some cheese tactics and we went in, let him cast some buffing spells, left the room, rested, and then went back in. He did it once more, and by the third time he had no buffing spells left, so he was a sinch. While we're on this subject, about how many liches are there? I don't want to know thier locations or any spoilers, just about how many there are.

Thanks again.

And thanks for the info about Imp. Aclarity and Sanctuary.

Improved Alacrity is a level 9 spell that speeds up casting time by 4 rounds. (Confirmation?) Like Dimension Door, Imp Alac appears in the game but can't be cast by a mage/sorcerer by normal means. A limited wish (level 7 spell) can grant you time stop + improved alacrity if your wisdom is high enough (and you pick the right wish, that is).

From what I understand, Improved Alacrity merely deletes the "magical residue" left over after a spell is cast, thus allowing you to cast again... and again... and again.. and... etc. It lasts 2 rounds(turns? whatever it is that normally takes 1 of in between spells :).

ToB Info:

It can be cast if you have ToB installed.

Ok, I have some MORE questions now...
1.Improved Aclarity: What is it? What does it do? I have heard a lot of people talking about it, and it's NOT listed as a spell in the manual. Is it some sort of special ability or what? And what does it do? From what I've heard about it it SOUNDS like it decreases casting time, but that's just a guess.

You need to install ToB to gain access to Improved Alacrity. It is a level 10 spell and uses up your level 9 spell slots. When casted, it removes the pauses inbetween spellcasting and lasts for 2 rounds.

Note: Limited Wish will not give you the option to have Time Stop + Improved Alacrity. It is a random option from the level 9 spell, Wish.

2.Sanctuary: Is there any way to dispel it? It seems like a really good level one spell if there isn't. You can cast that as soon as you see an enemy and just buff yourself up like heck. Especially for a solo character.

Dispel Magic, Remove Magic and True Sight will remove Santuary. I am sure there are more counters, but these three are the most common.
