If you want poetic justice, have one of its greatest strength's be a weakness; its undead nature renders it vulnerable to turning. I've got archived a 20 level cleric based build which can reliably turn a demi-lich. It was from the 2004 CO contest at 339, which is now lost to board wipes, but if a character 10 levels lower can insta-kill it...
Why use turning, if you can use rebuking? Is there an equivalent to Greater Turning? because intelligent undead get a resist check every day. Interesting houserule. Because that's exactly what this is: a houserule. RAW, there is no check to resist control. They just are controlled. A Demilich is not. Turning is a supernatural ability. They are immune. |

I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle. The book doesn't even exist! Quotes: By yes, she means no.
That explains so much about my life. hiicantcomeupwithacharacterthatisntaghostwhyisthatamijustretardedorsomething
Why would you even do this? It hurts my eyes and looks like you ate your keyboard before suffering an attack of explosive diarrhea. If using Genesis to hide your phylactry, set it at -300 degrees farenheit. See how do-gooders fare with a liquid atmosphere. |

Gnomes hate gnomes.
You just gave me an idea for an emo gnome character. Blood Magus or Hexblade. With the dark companion ACF? |

The problem isn't entirely destroying it I think. I'm pretty sure the problem is getting rid of his several thousand Phylacteries because he used the Epic Spell that was discussed earlier, was in a Faerun book.

Maybe an epic spell specifically designed to locate and summon all phylacteries on the planet to the caster? Specifically designed to break through wards.

The mind transcends the body. It's also a little cold because of that. Please get it a blanket. I wish I could read your mind, I can barely read mine. "Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. At 2:15, it begins rolling up characters."
"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

Hit hit with spark of life via factotum, then knowledge devotion away his connection to his phylacteries. |

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.
Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY! They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.
Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.
Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time. I give you much fu. Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie. |

Drunken Master(improvised weapons)/Psionic user. If there's more than one of them, then it's not unique, and can be called with call weaponry. Just call weaponry: Bob's Phylactery after it's dead and use a recharge setup to call them all.

Wait wait. Best idea ever.
Use his skull as ranged ammunition. If you hit with him, he's destroyed!

we found another method as well in the tomb of horrors adventure... there is that gem that grants a wish, which then destroys the wisher and anyone named in the wish. if you do your research ahead of time, that could be rather extensive.

lol WTF! 1) Casts Charm Person on Bob the random NPC 2) "Yo, Bob! I got this awesome gem here that grants wishes! You can have one if you just make sure to mention all of these people when wishing!" 3) Whips out list 4) "Oh yeah, make sure you DON'T name me! Have fun with that wish!" |
