That's what Death knights do - sort of. Their innate ulimited wall of ice
ability (I think - I'm not sure because I don't have my monster manuals
with me) is usually used to drop walls of ice on top of people. I'm told
it just creates another ice storm. Only good if you don't have the Ice
storm spell. Now a wall of iron would be much better.

Oh, I started playing a spelljammer game today and discovered that the
ship we are on (a galleon, much to my characters annoyance - he prefers
wasps: much more manueverable) is piloted by a lich. Or actually an
arch-lich. It is just annoying that she won't do anything other than pilot
the ship. Its like, she would have been great to teach my character's
father a lesson in politeness (he is a very bad pirate and my character
hates him very much), but they keep on saying - I'm sorry, if she leaves
the ship everybody will get upset and lynch her. Hey - she's a lich - she
can handle a few thousand raving peasants. (though they tell me she's
lawful good).

Oh, and what do people have to say about throwing people overboard?
