Dear Playground;
I'm trying to find/create a psionic lich enemy to throw at my game group sometime in the mid-future. My ultimate goal is something akin to the X-Men's Shadow King; a purely mental, immortal being without physical substance, that exists by possessing and dominating people.
I haven't found any official descriptions of a psilich, so does anyone have any suggestions for mosters/classes I could adapt to suit this role?
So far my best efforts have only produced a Dubbyk with psion levels, which to me seems a bit weak. The Dubbyk does, technically, have substance (albeit incorporeal and invisible); I'm trying to create an entity of pure mentalism. Furthermore, I would like to flavor this enemy as a once-mortal psion who transcended both material and mortality through his sheer malevolent will.
Are there any magic jar shenanigans that could enable a discorporated spirit to persist outside of the Jar, or to continue hopping from body to body?
I'm stuck here. Any class/creature/cheese suggestions would be appreciated.
