<p>Importing CrawlWiki content</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{version|031}}<br /> {{list of|liches}}<br /> {{monster info}}<br /> <br /> ==Useful Info==<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Liches&#039;&#039;&#039; are extremely powerful casters, and easily one of the nastiest creatures in the game. Their spell set includes lethal [[Conjurations]], invisibility, and a debilitating [[Slow]] that make them a concern for all but the mightiest adventurers. If the RNG is on their side, they&#039;re capable of one-shotting wounded or recklessly low-level characters.<br /> <br /> Liches can be found throughout [[the Depths]], [[the Vaults]], [[the Abyss]], [[the Crypt]], [[the Tomb]], and [[the Realm of Zot]].<br /> <br /> {{monster spells}}<br /> <br /> ==Tips &amp; Tricks==<br /> *Melee fighters should use corners to lure them next to you, or a [[scroll of blinking]] to get into range immediately.<br /> *Their HP and defenses are low enough that a strong offense can defeat one in two or three hits. Weapons of [[Holy wrath]] and [[Dispel Undead]] can speed this up even more, particularly while buffed.<br /> *[[Silence]] limits the lich to using its melee attack. While this does have a [[draining]] effect, it is still preferable to a lich that can cast spells.<br /> *[[Throwing net]]s are very useful against liches. Hitting one at the edge of your line of sight with one guarantees it won&#039;t be able to follow you for several turns, allowing a fairly safe escape. Hitting one in melee range will make it vulnerable to [[stab]]bing attempts, allowing [[Short Blades]] specialists to make very short work of them.<br /> *Their infinite [[willpower]] makes almost any hex worthless against them, except for [[Enfeeble]]. Find other ways to disable them if you rely on willpower-checking effects.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> * Prior to [[0.27]], liches could have one of several spell sets:<br /> ** [[Bolt of Cold]] (3d29), [[Force Lance]] (3d22), [[Summon Greater Demon]], [[Slow]], [[Invisibility]]<br /> ** [[Bolt of Draining]] (3d27), [[Poison Arrow]] (3d27), [[Haunt]], [[Banishment]], [[Haste]]<br /> ** [[Bolt of Fire]] (3d29), [[Iron Shot]] (3d34), Summon Greater Demon, [[Confuse]], Invisibility<br /> ** [[Corrosive Bolt]] (3d23), [[Lehudib&#039;s Crystal Spear]] (3d40), [[Petrify]], Haste<br /> ** [[Lightning Bolt]] (3d24), [[Orb of Destruction]] (9d17), [[Paralyze]], Haste<br /> * Prior to [[0.18]], liches had randomized spell sets.<br /> * Prior to [[0.16]], liches would generate with one of four predetermined spell sets.</div>
