I'd like to point out that "Magic Immunity" in 3.5 only means "Infinite Spell Resistance" now. Shatter also normally effects it.

Discuss.
[Spoiler]
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.

Except that the Magic Immunity specifies Supernatural effects as well, which never allow SR.  IIRC, it also says all spells (although apparently this immunity does not extend to its own casting).
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

It made a difference in 3.0, though. The 3.5 document doesn't clarify the ability, which has an explicit definition in the...dmg? Phb? MM? One of the core three.

And does the Phylactery even have to be with the body?  Couldn't it be somewhere in the middle of Limbo or in some other spot that would make it impossible to get to?
Only a retarded demilich would keep its phylactery with it. Especially look at the Phylactery Transferrence ability, or whatever it's called, that lets it benefit from magic items left with its phylactery.

So... yeah, finding and getting to that phylactery should be an epic adventure in itself.

A Drunken Master (you can use improvised weapons)/ Psychic Warrior should be able to summon it with Soulbound Weapon (you can call a specific weapon from anywhere), as I stated earlier.
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

As long as the Holy Water was 50% alcohol, he'd do it. Although Call weaponry wouldn't work in an AMF. AMF would have to be a contingency.

i've always been fond of shrink item... works on pools of water, holy or not. turn a pool or pools of holy water into cloth, and that into clothes or something, "give" it to the lich somehow as loot. let the lich take the loot home and you don't have to even find the lair....

Depends if you consider Rules Compendium to override it or not, I suppose.

If it does, a factotum can just get right past it.

Doesn't mean jack for spells that do not allow SR, though.
