Do you think a Fighter lich that has an undead army as a phylactery is a cool idea?
I think it’s a great idea! Do all liches need to be spellcasters? If so, maybe give them some levels in wizard or warlock. And I love the idea of making an undead army their phylactery. Much harder to destroy the phylactery if you have to destroy the whole army to do it.
I might make a statblock for them. There’s a YouTuber who makes liches for other classes, like sorcerers, bards, druids, and artificers. They’re all really cool. The bard one is called an intoner. An intoner’s phylactery is the memory of their greatest song.
I’m thinking of calling the Fighter lich a Director or a warlord. To become a lich, they must personally kill an entire army’s worth of people, which rise from the dead as an undead horde, called a death legion, which becomes the Lich’s Phylactery. Every single humanoid or giant (or anything i can find an undead version of) the lich kills joins the ranks of the death legion. However, a single creature can only be part of the death legion for 10 years, after which its form crumbles to dust. This means to stay alive, the Lich must constantly add to it’s ranks. If it’s death legion ever has less than 50 undead creatures in it, the Lich loses a lot of it’s power, only their skull remaining. This skull has no name yet, but is like the equivalent of a Demi lich to them. These skulls can wield weapons through magic. The lich rejuvenates faster or slower depending on how many creatures are in the death legion.
what do you think i should call the skull? I don’t want to call it a demilich because it’s going to have it’s own statblock.
You should make a stat block for them. And call them a warlord. I like that name. Sounds more ominous and fighter-like than Director.
Call the skull a pseudo-lich. Like a pseudo-dragon but for liches. Plus it works because pseudo means false in Greek and the skull is basically a false lich, a creature that has the form of a lich but not the full powers of one.
Okay! Do you want to see the statblock when I’m done? I think its going to have some spells, but its innate spellcasting. The spells are going to be stuff like bless, bane, haste, and some ranger spells.
