you can have higher levels if you installed exp cap remover

I think that Korgan has his rage skill that protects him from imprisonment.
If you have only 4 party members then add other 2, there is no reason for having less than 6 charachters in your party, and as I said before you don't need to attack the lich with anyone you can kill it with aerial servant or other high level summoning.

...my mage cleric is lvls 15/17... Thats like a lvl 32 character.. i dont think i need higher levels.

Enrage does protect from trap the soul and imprisonment.

The less characters you have, the more exp they get and get higher levels. 6 chars is too easy.

I dont wanna use summons to fight the lich. its too easy that way. ive killed him before with 4 chracters before, i can do it again.

Tactics Mod

The Smarter Liches/Mages and Improved Kangaxx are just a few of its many components, though it's up to you which components you want to install.

The Smarter Liches/Mages part mainly revamps the spell books of all liches and mages in the game, and causes them to make more intelligent, and thus to you, far more lethal spell choices. This component also gives them a rather cheesy pre-buff script which automatically and instantly activates a ton of protection spells as soon as you enter the same area as a mage or lich, these include Stoneskin, MMM, Prot from Fire, Prot from Magic Energy, Shield etc etc, depending on the level of the mage.

The Improved Kangaxx Mod places a pretty tough enemy party, who're also after the treasures that Kangy hold, in Kangaxx's house on the floor above him. Kangaxx himself has obviously already been made far more dangerous by the Smarter Liches/Mages component, but he gets a few personal tweaks as well. Many of his early spell choices are specifically selected to counter many of the most common Kangy bashing tactics, I wont spoil you any more than that.

Kangaxx has fallen once again. i didnt even need the PfU scrolls. This time i just had the weapons ready, and he wasted all his time using TtS (trap the soul) on my mage/cleric. I had a spell trap on and PI:Abjuration so he didnt get thru. it worked a lot bettr than the fist time i killed him. it just goes to prove, youll end up a lot stronger with a smaller party.

You may have the advantage of numbers and a wide variety of skills with 6, but with fewer numbers you can hone your skills and become deadly

Also, the lichs now cast remove magic if you go face them with protection from undead on.

Xero, since you say you've got Solaufein in the party, you might just be facing Improved Kangaxx, who can tell if he's taking damage from people who are Protected From Undead. Kangaxx gets hit, doesn't see anybody, casts Dispel/Remove Magic, the PfU on Korgan and Kinley goes bye-bye, and they get Imprisoned. Simple as that.
Alternatively, they may have simply failed their Save against his Demilich Howl.

Continuing on the subject of MODs, Daystar can indeed strike Kangaxx--IF you happen to have the Item Upgrade MOD and are in Chapter 6.

Weapons that offer different THAC0 bonuses against different types of creatures always strike at their highest level of enchantment. For this reason, the Warhammer+1 (+4 against Giantkin) strikes as if it were a +4 weapon, even if you're pounding Gibberlings with it. Same with Flame Tongue, and the Shapeshifter Bastard Sword. You won't get the THAC0 or Damage bonuses, but at least your hits will connect.
NOTE: This does NOT mean that the unMODded Daystar is +4 enchanted. Never assume that "added damage = level of enchantment."

Level 10 Spells will affect Demi-Liches just as they would anyone else. I'm not sure why Comet didn't work, unless Kangaxx has some resistance to Blunt damage. I also haven't tested to see if the Priest HLA spells will hurt Demiliches.

Voltrath, "Shield of the Acorns" is a very specialized spell--only Boo knows it. It can protect Minsc from Imprisonment, but only under certain circumstances.

Xero, who the hell said that Solaufein can't use any weapon other than Long Swords or Flails? Even blindly waving a Toothpick+4 would be of more use than just standing around & providing moral support.

*NEVER* use Summoned creatures against ANY enemy that casts Imprisonment, unless you like casting Freedom all the time, or are willing to play the rest of the game without any Summons at all.
