Going by their stat block: https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Lich#content a lich only seems to have paralyzing touch as an action aside from it's spells and legendary abilities. Is paralyzing touch what it uses for AoOs?

That's what my DM did when it came up.

Opportunity attack must be melee attack, but nothing says it can't be melee spell attack, as long as it's not casting a spell without Warcaster feat. So yes, Paralyzing Touch is valid option for lich's OA.

OK, thanks. I figured a lich wouldn't be attacking with their fists since that seems to be the only other option.
