Spooky Lich idea

[80sSkeletor]

So I was thinking recently and came up with the following: lich hybrids with person, person has more control and confines the lich while drawing off of its power akin to a sorcerer's draconic blood. Is there a legal way to fulfill this?

The wielder of the lich's power could be a Spellthief. Find a way to come into contact with the lich regularly, and you should be good to go. The lich could even be another party member!

Alternatively, be a Favored Soul (or (Spontaneous) Cleric, but Favored Soul is more Sorcerer-y) of Vecna. Maybe throw some refluffing in there if you want to actually be a lich-hybrid.

Maybe a Binder could work? Again, refluffing your vestiges to actually be the lich (possibly an insane one?) is an option if it's (the refluffing) needed.


You could become an undead creature to represent the "hybridizing" (refluff as necessary, of course). A Necropolitan should be fine.

You could take a few levels in the Lich template class:

One of the Sorcerer Bloodlines in the Pathfinder Core Rulebook (like draconic) is Undead. Take a look at it and adapt it back to 3.5 and your fluff.

In general the problem would be that lichs are hella powerful. :smallbiggrin:

A sufficiently high level cleric could command undead on the lich.

Another way might be to replace "lich" with "powerful intelligent magic item created by the lich and infused with the lich's personality". Intelligent magic items have ego scores which the wielder might need to make a will save vs. when the wielder and magic item want to do different things.

Another option might shift control in a different way. What if your character were the apprentice . . . and favoured grandchild . . . of the lich (liches were once living people, after all, and could have descendants)? So less a matter of "my will shall prevail over thee!" and more of a "please, gramma?" in the wresting control of things.

That is a Grisgol from Monster Manual II.

Fusion will undoubtedly do this, provided you can jump through a few hoops. Mainly, you need to get around the undead type, for example through polymorph.
