Talk:Lich

I think all Liches could be on a same page, as they share most of their properties with themselves. I'd love to read about tactics against liches as well. Progo 10:25, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Huh?

A lich:

   * does not breathe.
   * has a head, a couple of arms, and a torso.
   * can regenerate hit points.
   * is poisonous to eat.
   * is undead.
   * always starts as hostile.
   * can pick up magical items.
   * has infravision.
   * never leaves a corpse. 

How can both be true?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.181.14.252 (talk • contribs)

You don't have to kill something to eat it, if you're, say, a purple worm.--Ray Chason 18:56, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

How not to kill a lich

Don't wield a 'trice corpse if you don't have magic resistance. A gnome on level 8 of the Gnomish Mines deliberately jumped on to a polymorph trap, turned into a lich and destroyed my gloves. Not nice...

Confusion?

In a little wizard mode testing, I #polyself'ed in to an arch-lich to do some scroll of gold detection testing while confused. I noticed that I could move in any direction without the normal confused randomisation. I was level 25 at the time, but moved hundreds of squares without randomisation. Is this a symptom of Wizard mode, the monster itself, my high level, was I just lucky or something else entirely? -- Kalon 05:33, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
