Lich PrC
Marius Falconhand:
Not all Liches would be chaotic evil. Some are former wizards who spent maybe their entire life learning the secrets of necromancy to one day harness it's power and turn themselves into a Lich. And with that being known, they would be rather intelligent probably, not some normal zombie or ghoul. They could tend towards the area of Lawful Evil. Bending the rules to make what they want. That would be far more evil and awful to deal with because they would take time to calculate every move before they made it. But with all this said, I think a Lich PrC would be great and would have to be restricted to epic lvl characters. The player would have to prove that they are able to play in this world without having PvP. It would be great in a while, but now is not the time.
Force_of_Will_:
I remember the original Forgotten relms box set for PnP ADD 1st ed. had a Module in the source book.Their was a Lich in the Ruins of Myth Drannor who thought he was still alive and the party were students.I dont think his alignment was Evil.
Kethryc:
Hey I remember that! I think I still have it in fact. That was a fun module. I loved the pit with the dead adventurer and continual light cast on a stick.
Gilrod:
In Forgotten Realms, there were good aligned elven liches (although they were called something else) that voluntarily became liches to be eternal protectors of their families relics and such. There are these good liches in Myth Drannor because they are still bound to protect their noble families estates and stuff.
In Ebberron, the elves are more like great warriors and are led by an "undying court" of ancient elven lich types that are animated with positive energy. As a consequence, elves in this setting look down on necromancy and other magics involving negative energy. They also worship the spirits of their ancestors.
I think it would be cool if a PC could attain lichdom. Of course the lich would still have to follow all the standard rules of the server (and the rules for becoming a lich). I think to become a lich, a person has to be of a minimum of level 29 and the process of becoming a lich (bonding with a philactery) incurrs a high failure chance that can result in all sorts of bad things happing to the person, like becoming a greater shadow and the like (if not utterly destroyed).
I think it would be cool, the Rufus would become an NPC lich if AR7 every retired Rufus. Rufus has made such a large contribution to Layonara, it would be nice that a necromancer like him not just fade away.
Just my opinion.
