Lich Special Attacks

[Xar Zarath]

Has anyone tried to use any other special attacks for the lich instead of the usual paralyzing touch and fear aura?

A list here: http://www.realmshelps.net/monsters/templates/lich.shtml

Has anyone also tried inventing special attacks that fit in line with a lich?
(Also kinda funny that Animate Dead is a special attack for good liches but not the "generic" evil ones)

Something in here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?518654-Compilation-of-Lich-Variants)might be of interest.

it is for a very simple reason: evil liches can cast the spell since they are evil while good liches can not cast the spell without taking a hit to their alignment(or can not cast it at all if they are priests) neanwhile a supernatural ability do not have an effect on alignment when used because they wrote in the manuals that casting evil spells was evil but they never wrote that using supernatural ability that copy the effect of an evil spell was evil.

Interesting idea... That could be an interesting view for a good aligned Dweomerkeeper with 'supernatural spell'.
