Would it be possible to use a Dracolich's phylactery to make a Grisgol?
A Dracolich does have different abilities compared to regular humanoid Liches. Would that affect the resulting Grisgol's powers/abilities? Or would I have to homebrew a variant Grisgol?
The specific Dracolich phylactery does have a ton of enchantments on it, so we don't know what to expect from it; I've seen this one inflict negative energy damage, inflict fear, and even exert power despite being inside a Bag of Holding, so who know what else it can do. The enchantments would make destroying it nigh-impossible. My DM is anticipating we would make every effort to destroy it, but turning it into a Grisgol under our control would throw a wrench into his plan by giving us a powerful minion.
We know the specific Dracolich was an extremely powerful Blue Dragon (likely an advanced one that reached Colossal+size and the high CR associated with it; possibly also has 12 levels of Dragon Ascendant, so Rank 0 Deity).
That is the context for my question. Would making a Grisgol out of such a phylactery be worthwhile?
