K so I plan on getting bracers of demons consort, lifeshield item, as well as having lich form temp hit points at 18

what are the proc chances for these and do they all stack?

Undead are supposed to be immune to death effects. Does this include instant death like slay living? I couldve sworn on my first attempt at a pm i got killed in the Tempest spine by drow spellcaster.

Thanks in advance

I can't answer your questions about the bracers, but...

Yes, the undead form protects you from all death effects and gives you all of the undead immunities. However, keep in mind that alot of spellcasters use light-based spells, which do TWICE the amount of damage to you that they would to anyone else, unless you are in vampire form, in which case they do FOUR times the amount of damage to you. So, it pays to stay behind the melees in your party, don't be the first one to draw aggro, and always take out the spellcasters first.

Edit: Oh, and even though your speciality is necromancy spells, it helps if you cast some crowd control spells like Web, Hold Person/Monster, etc. Web is especially useful since it requires a strength check to save against it and it can be heightened.

Agreed.....necromancy spells rock...but as a wizard if you can't CC you're pretty much crippling your PM.

yes dont worry i plan to have cc on me. As for radiance, i can repair my self since i am wf when out of undead mode. Does any1 have a big long list of quests where they cast radiance? The only places i can think of is the trogs in The Pit and the dreaded running with devils lol.

A lot of mobs cast searing light/sunburst. A lot. You just don't notice it usually because it's not a high threat... You'll notice when a PM, don't worry.
As for the question about items, lifeshield simply doesn't work on palemasters, at least didn't last time I checked. At all. The two others will stack, and stack with the boon to undeath property on the Abbot robe/Mabar robe or docent. Conc opp stacks as well.
