Hmm... I'm partial to casters, particularly druids and wizards (which might be a little on the nose, but whatever :P), and monks
I like Spores Druid, Scribes Wizard and Bladesinger, and Way of Mercy in those classes respectively!
As far as homebrew rules, crits do max damage + your damage dice roll, bonus action potion drinking, and I'm generally pretty flexible about whatever someone wants to do at my table.
@tarasque2897: no it wasn't meeeee
I'm a HUGE fan of bonus action potion drinking. Thank you Baldur's Gate 3 for having amazing rules (one of the only ones I don't like is the 1d4 roll for initiative checks but that's a personal thing).

The most I've really forayed into that is changing the spells on a caster or things like that where it's 95% an official statblock.
A lich stick would seem more like a magic item IMO. Probably some kind of wand or staff.

This sentient wand appears made of wood with a bony texture. To attune to this stick you spend an hour with it and make a Wisdom Saving Throw of DC 25. On a failed throw you become possessed by the stick and immediately attack the nearest creature to you, creating an undead if you reduce it to zero hitpoints. (Insert table.) On a successful saving throw you may use the Liche Stick as follows.
The Liche Stick has 20 charges. At dawn it regains 1d8+4 charges. Each charge used deals 20 necrotic damage to yourself which cannot be reduced in any way. If you die as a result of this necrotic damage, you become a liche. You may cast any spell from the Wizard spell list using as many charges for the spell as its level. (Cantrips require 1 charge.) In addition to the necessary charges, roll 1d4 for additional charges used on top of those.
I'm doing good! I helped a Wings of Fire tavern finally get started :D
Also I've been super into No Man's Sky
I used to love Wings of Fire. Really unique dragon designs and cool lore.
I heard No Man's Sky was really good. I love exploration games.

You should join in! I'm hoping a big group will grow in that thread.
It's incredible. Over 18 quintillion planets, all procedurally generated. Some are similar but no two are exactly alike. Spanning over 256 unique to-scale galaxies it's simply incredible.

In addition to the necessary charges, roll 1d4 for additional charges used on top of those.
20 charges is a lot, especially when you can get two whole extra ninth level slots. I'm not sure what the last sentence is trying to say though. I like the idea of when you die while attuned to the stick, it turns you into a lich, but maybe there's a chance it fails? And for the attunement clause:
When you attempt to attune to this wand, make a DC 21 WIS saving throw. On a success, you attune to the item. On a fail, you fail to attune and take [amount of damage] necrotic damage. This damage reduces your hit point maximum by the amount until you finish a long rest. You cannot attempt to attune to this item again after failing the saving throw.
My wording is kinda clunky, but that's the idea.
