Liches, and the creation thereof Empty Liches, and the creation thereof

Post by DorianCreed Wed Jan 18, 2012 11:16 am

So I was looking into the basis of a Lich, and it turns out that what one basically is is a Permanent Soul Jar spell powered by a link to the Negative Energy Plane. This got me thinking: Why can't I link it to another plane? What would this do to the anatomy of a Lich? Of course, being the good little fa/tg/uy that I am, I made a thing! For reference, they're the same unless otherwise noted.

Elemental Lich
- Is an Elemental, not an Undead
- Elemental subtype appropriate to element in question
- +2 to STR (Fire only), +2 to DEX (Air/Water only), +2 to CON (Earth only)
- Elemental touch attack instead of Negative one
- No Paralyzing touch
- Elemental Weaknesses/Resistances as appropriate
- Elemental Affinity (As relevant Elemental)
- Special attack (As relevant Elemental of same size)
- 100ft (Perfect) Fly speed (Air only), 30ft Burrow speed (Earth only), 60ft Swim speed (Water only), +100% Base land speed (Fire only)
- No fear aura

Positive Lich
- Is Outsider with Positive subtype, not Undead
- +2 to any one physical atribute (STR, DEX, or CON)
- +2 more to INT and CHA
- Positive energy touch, not Negative energy one
- No fear aura
- Courage aura (As Heroism)
- Immune to Sleep, Aging, Starvation, Dehydration, and Suffocation

I'd post the alignment based ones, but they're not done yet.

This is magificent. Which game book is this from though?

Also what does it mean 100ft (perfect)?

Other than those questions tough I'm liking this a lot.

This, I like. If nothing happens on IRC soonish, feel like making a few classes similar to dread necromancer - they ascend to one form of lich. I can see it working. Or hell, even alternate paths, like in Pathfinder.

The 100ft (perfect) means a flight speed of 100 feet per round, with perfect skill.

Y'know, you need to run a game using this. Level 1, maybe gestalt, everyone is liches. Go fuck shit up in the name of your plane, quasi-plane (why you no Sand Lich?), para-plane (why you no radiance lich?), or demi-plane (why you no high level psion lich?).
