Tim, you seem to assume to assume that a lich would have *every* MU
spell available, but I always thought that the lich would retain only
those spells which he or she had in real life, so an 18th level lich
would have only one 9th level spell available, etc.  However, it's
not clear whether a lich has to memorize spells and all that sort of
thing...  To beat a well-played lich one-on-one, you'd probably have to be
an MU of comparable level, with some extra tricks, and a well-laid
plan to surprise the lich and weaken it defenses.  A group of high-level
characters would still be sorely tested, but attacks from different
directions could give the lich a lot of trouble - even 9th level spells
have plenty of restrictions on their power...
