Well, I can tell you what I did to beat the horrible one. So for anyone who hasn't faced him and wants the battle to be fresh
DONT READ THIS !
BTW, my difficulty setting was on hard with tactics, if that changes some things. First of all you need +4 or better weapons to hit him if I recall. In his first form he casts most of the usual lich spells, time stops, summons, PFMWs, ADHWs, etc. Once he changes into *gasp* the demi-lich he gates in a rat which I thought you had to kill in order to beat him but that's not true. Every round it seemed like he cast a time stop, then two teleport fields, a spell trap and a wickedly named spell that I don't remember. When he's not casting that he's just shooting imprisonments one after the other, improved alacrity style.
On to my strategy crap. My PC was a mod kit creation that was immune to imprisonment, I don't know if I would have beaten him this month if not for that. He's protected. Edwin can cast spell immunity abjuration, so he's cool. Solafein can cast it too but his wore off without me noticing. Bye, bye Sola I'll see you later. My assassin has use any item HLA so he used a SI abjuration scroll. I had Viccy in my party and couldn't protect her. The Shield of the Arcons won't stay up very long when he's got a semi-auto matic impruziment rifle. So I used my ring of the ram against his first form to push him off in one direction since he can target anywhere in the room from the center spot. I had Viccy hide at the other end raising anyone who bit it. In order to get around the teleport fields one should wear the boots of speed with improved haste or greater whirlwind or haste potion and run like hell. A dispelling weapon like Carsomyr, SotM or an Unholy Reaver helps. I used the last one. Summons are pretty much toast. Basically get as many fast melee hits in as possible because he doesn't cast any PfMWs. He just regenerates something fierce.
What else. Oh, having the item upgrade mod and turning daystar into a +4 weapon sealed the deal. Kangaxx probably wants a piece of the guy who made that mod. Better not go into any undead tombs Weimer.
