I need to compile a list of all of the types of Liches in 3.5 for my setting. I'm putting a sort of network of them as regional bosses of a kind, and I want each one to be unique. (Not all of them are evil, but none of them are good.)

What I have so far:

Regular Lich: Boring.

Dry Lich: The end result of the Walker in the Waste class. Non-good, but not necessarily evil, though turning an area around you into desert and dehydrating people with a touch aren't exactly non-evil.

Dracolich: Because Dragons are cool, and Liches are cool, why not.

Alhoon: Illithid Lich. I don't know if it would actually look any different, because the tentacles would presumably fall off? But hey, it's a thing.

Banelich: Cleric lich. It's from the Forgotten Realms setting. It's kind of uncreative.

So are there any I'm missing? Particularly any with actual merit?

There are also:
Demilich (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/monsters/demilich.htm)
Beholder Lich (D&D Miniatures: Unhallowed set)
Archlich/Baelnorn (Monsters of Faerûn) - Good alignment
Good Lich (Libris Mortis)
Lichfiend (Dungeon #116) - no phylactery, very hard to get rid off
Lichfiend (Libris Mortis)
Shadow Lich (Tome of Magic) - shadow mysteries user
Suel Lich (Dragon #339) - no phylactery, incorporeal, should possess mortals to continue existence

Capstone of Death Master turn you into Lich, regardless of your Type - as long as it's not Undead

Grim Psion (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20030628b) PrC at level 10 is psionic Lich in all but name

Variants from non-1st party settings:

Ravenloft:
Lich (Ravenloft Player's Handbook)
Elemental Lich (Denizens of Dread)
Psilich (Ravenloft Dungeon Master's Guide)
Vasslich (Ravenloft Gazetteer: Volume II)

Warcraft the RPG:
Lich (Manual of Monsters)

Spelljammer:
Firelich (http://lost.spelljammer.org/ShatteredFractine/critters/monsters/firelich.html)

While not even remotely official, the Sangrolu probably counts.

Lichfiend from LM156 is for evil outsiders with at least 5 at will SLAs

Does a Worm that Walks (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/monsters/wormThatWalks.htm) count? On the one hand, it's an aberration, not an undead, and the soul is bound to a swarm, not a phylactery. On the other hand, it involves an obscene arcane ritual, binds the soul, requires you to die and be buried, and allows you to come back from pretty much anything provided that your soul-box (here any single vermin in your swarm) survives you.

Also, it's disturbing as hell.

Baelnorn are elven good liches that extend their life to teach their kin the ways of magic.

[ExLibrisMortis]

The spectral savant is a psionic lich-like being. Incorporeal, and it can't recover PP by resting, so I wouldn't play one unless bestow power tricks are approved of at your table.

Alhoon: Illithid Lich. I don't know if it would actually look any different, because the tentacles would presumably fall off? But hey, it's a thing.

Alhoon retain enough flesh to keep their tentacles, actually.

That gets me thinking... do illithids even have bones? I know they were formerly human (for traditional mind flayers anyways), but does ceremorphosis do anything to the skeleton?

Is it bad that I want to make one of these as a character? Probably. :smalltongue:

Also, the capstone of Dread Necromancer turns you into a Lich by name, but it never says anything about gaining the template, so it may count as different from the normal Lich.

Yes, they're vertebrates, specifically amphibians. Sure their mouths look like octopus mouths, but that's a coincidence, not a relationship. Plus, there's a mind flayer skull picture that shows up randomly in a bunch of 3.x books.
