One of my players will find out he's got a Lich inside him and it's desperate to get out. When the character dies, the lich will offer him power. In exchange for this huge power boost, the character loses his ability to persuade and can only intimidate or deceive. He loses his humanity slowly and begins to feel disdain for all life.
I'm not too worried about the power imbalance this causes mechanically, but I was wondering if anyone could think of any other cool things to tack onto this mode to make it even cooler. Thanks.
Lich Mode
When you come across an evil that must be defeated, what better way than the evil inside you? As an action, you can call upon the lich inside you to vanquish your foes.
Lich's Hatred
The hatred the lich has for life is so intense it emboldens you and your allies to cause as much harm as possible.
All other Aura abilities are disrupted
You and your allies within 30 feet gain a bonus to damage equal to your Charisma modifier (Minimum of +1)
Lich's Resistance
The magic of the lich envelops you and is so concentrated it protects you from damage
Gain resistnace to nonmagical slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning damage
Lich's Visage
The darkest emotions erupt from you in a burst of magical menace.
Each creature you choose within 30 feet must make a Wisdom saving throw if they can see you. On a failed save, the target is frightened of you for 1 minute. If the creature ends its turn more than 30 feet away from you, it can attempt another saving throw to end the effect on it.
Lich's Shroud
Black and green flames swirl around you in a 30 foot tempest with the force of the lich's psycic power. The fire draws in light, illuminating your face in a ghastly image and dimming the light around you.
Reduce bright light in a 30 foot radius to dim light
Whenever an enemy that is frightened by you starts its turn in the shroud, it takes 4d10 psycic damage.
Creatures you choose in the shroud are draped in deeper shadow. Creatures that rely on sight have disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures draped in the shadows.
You can use a bonus action to cause the shadows in the shroud to attack one creature. You make a melee spell attack against the target. If the attack hits, the target takes necrotic damage equal to 3d10 + your charisma modifier
Lich's Bleed
The loathing for life the lich has affets even you. You feel your life drain away as the lich's magic courses through you.
Your hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to 1 Hit Dice + your charisma modifier.
The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest.
Lich's Tenacity
You feel the lich's grasp on your mind strengthen as you use his power.
To exit this form, you must make a DC 10 + (the number of rounds the form was active) Wisdom saving throw
