When it comes to liches, never let them get close to you and attack you. Keep this tip in mind if you're a low level character. Instead, stay at a distance and fire some arrows with whatever bow you have. Hit them with arrows and run before they get close to you. I've discovered that liches never use a lightning bolt or even life drain before attacking you up close with those sharp talons or whatever those things are. By the way, fire works well against them.
