Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment. I have a commercial license for AIG art. For every art piece you see on the video there are 10 that did not make the cut. Prompt engineering really is an art :)
About 20 years ago I played on a custom Neverwinter Nights server (precursor to the MMO I guess) and played a character who ultimately became a lich. Hands down one of the deepest, richest and most rewarding RP experiences of my life. Pacts with demons, quests for all the potion and phylactery components, resisting attempted domination by an archdevil, and ultimately razing an in-game city to the ground and conducting the ritual amongst the ashes, drawing on the death and destruction to fuel the ritual. All custom and run by human DMs. No game since has come close to the depth and freedom of that questline.
I always liked the idea of the Demi-Lich. It was in the AD&D monster manual 2. (Yes I played in the 80s and my friend got stuck in the upsidedown). From memory it was where a lich transformers it’s self to a more ghost like form.
Another balling episode - amazing introduction to this video as always. Can't get enough of this coverage of Liches. In ANY rule set or edition, in the hands of capable DM/GM, these really can be super memorable. Love you outlining the phylactery.
I love the endless possibilities that a high level Wizard has at his/her fingertips, and I can see the pros and cons of lichdom. But to have to go threw all that. To do so much evil just to not have to eat/sleep or technically breathe, when you could just master the 8th level spell “Clone”. But that’s just me. Thank you for the time and effort you put in these videos. Once again excellent work.
My favorite phlactery idea are 1 A sword given to a new adventure one ring style 2 a iron maiden 3 an ornate gallow given to a mad king 4 a ring given to a noble woman 5 a doctors tool kit 6 a ritual knife given to a mad cultist 7 a plush golem yes fnaf in dnd 8 a pebble in a battlefield souls for days And my favorite the gem and gold an adamantium encrusted shell of a zombiefied dragon turtle thats also hold lich's underwater citadel on its back
Oh... there's some good ones in there i had not even thought of! Well done sir! I have #7 covered in spades... wait until episode 3 where i give you mine :) but 2,5 and 6... all new to me. Thanks for sharing!
I like the idea of a very large but shallow golden bowl. It could be used to collect the blood of sacrifices of those hanging above it by chains. Or a long pole....
i like the pebble but not in a battlefield just in another plane, a plane of something super powerful so no1 would ever venture let alone find it bwhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, oh no something stepped on my rock.....oh no...ahhhh-
How about a mask, crown or helmet? It's well know to be a powerful magic item itself and others may not know it is a phylactery. It's obtained one way or the other by a character or a BBEG, who gains several buffs, but also a curse. The head gear whispers in their ear. Encouraging them to campaign and wage wars. To grow their power. All of this feeding the item, and by extension the lich. The lich may chose to stay relatively close to the wearer, in disguise of coure, and poses as a councillor adviser or mentor. The lich's words are given weight thanks to the curse on the phylactery. Or the lich may chose to stay far away in a stronghold, amassing an army of undead and fiends.
So imagine your party is hired by a wizard (or mysterious) patron to go gather these ingredients, but are never told why. Your group goes on great adventures completing these incredibly difficult tasks. At the end of the time you finally find out what you have been doing all along - Final boss fight - stop the process before (or after) the deed has been done. Either a very powerful wizard, or heavens forbid, a Lich.
That's a good campaign idea. I've used one where the party finds an item. It comes off as highly magical, but it has suffered some sort of mysterious damage. If the party's magic users can figure out how to fix it, it will begin to confer a benefit to the user as well as some kind of fun spell a few times a day. Just enough of a positive that they are reticent to dispose of it. Surprise, you actually fixed a liches phylactery...
i was thinking of a good lich whos newly born so to speak, and he just wants to help the party as a Good lich of the people lol and has a shop in town called the friendly necromancers trinkets and bobs @@jn8604
Love the videos been watching them all day...also I did have a party with a player linch...worked ot out with a friend we had a blast..the shock of the other players when the BBEG was there best friend in the party was amazing..and the final fight as the DM I was floored becuae it was just pvp lol
I had a similar idea about a player liche. But I figured it would be a thing of DM does normal game night. Then between sesions does a one on one session with liche. Would have to give some restrictions, so liche does not just send army of vampires to kill level 1 party of heroes first session. This could be done many ways though, from having to go through rights to get all baddies needed, not knowing where or who adventurers are, and/or having their own set of objectives to deal with as well as heroes. Maybe the neighbouring kingdom has a full army trying to fight the liche and their forces, while heroes are a deep behind the lines commando like mission.
Fun fact Lenard uncredited wrote whole sections of the dmg and players' handbook for A dnd Gary sent him the orginal hand written manuscript, and then Lenard sent him back the new one so Lenard threw away the orginal handwritten copy. Also, he is the creator of all the orginal gods in dnd.
We called it "To Hit Armour Class Theta," because we were rarely ever calculating for an armour class of zero and so "Theta" stood in for "x" and thus represented whatever the actual armour class of the opponent was.
Enjoying this video series, it has a special spot with me man. Good job, keep it up. I'm working on my channel, audio and video settings. Blessings and keep on growing, talk to you soon!
Storm of The Century movie by Stephen King. Did Andre Linoge ''SOUL SCALP'' Ralphi,,? Leaving Ralphi's spirit in the astral realm, left to find another body, ( when the kids fell asleep after touching the Cane, flying with Linoge in the astral realm ) Then Linoge put his own spirit ( or a part of his spirit ), into Ralphi's physical body, and controlled both bodies.? So when the old body of Linoge died, he would permanently live in Ralphi's body ( for thousands of years ).
A couple interesting points, (I know you’re interested in origins) . This drives home the absolute evil involved in the process of the topic. - Virgin was once a term for a pre-pubescent child. - A Unicorn was also symbolic of child, or more specifically the children of a certain lineage.
I like the idea of of a DM doing adventures with a party but also, secretly doing solo missions one on one with the wizard in the party when their friends aren’t around as he embarks on his personal quest for Lichdom. Maybe the paladin or priest realizes something is amiss but fails their perceptive rolls and the wizard narrowly escapes discovery. Hints can be dropped and strange occurrences can be weaved into the group adventures, things like stumbling upon a group of zombies guarding an evil wizards library only for them to take one look at the wizard in your party and flee in the opposite direction. Every encounter is a chance for his cover to be blown in unexpected ways and for the more lawfully aligned characters or the more perceptive characters (such as thief’s and rogues) to notice out of place clues but not having all the information and writing it off as their imagination. And then finally a tip comes in from the wizard in your party about an evil necromancers lair and how there are treasures to be had so the group goes off in search of it only to find out that the lair belongs to the wizard himself and he lured the entire party there in order to complete his ritual and they are to become his sacrifices on his quest for immortality. Sounds like a cool adventure.
Re: Unicorn Horn At least in older editions (i havent actively played since 3.5E) unicorns were associated with goodness in general and the positive energy plane in particular. The horns could draw in that positive energy while the creature was alive or if it voluntarily chose to sacrifice itself and pass the horn on. However if the unicorn died violently or if the horn was stolen it severed the connection suddenly and instead started channeling negative Energy. I assume that's why it was incorporated into the potion formula.
I miss THAC0 , lol i hated going from AD+D 2E to 3.5 vut i started playin in 78 with the basic, advanced and expert vixes and then AD+D when it came out. In AD+D it wasnt that complicated to become a lich . Enchant Item, magic jar , trap the soul and wish, highest level dpell was the wish mist the others wete 5th and 6th. Almost any high level wizard had access to the spells anyway. Hardest part was making the potion due to several of the items had a 60 day time limit of their gathering, even in 2E it was still pretty simple. When Wizards bought TSR they made it both more complicated and thematically darker
The Seldarine are who to seek the secrets of Lichdom from for certain. iLythiiri were rumored & gossiped over having perfected the art of fusing each school of magic into one sorcerous portal so as to empower & enrich one's spirit. One's mind & body too.
Ya, not one to care, lol. A player of mine recently quipped, 'you can't say all drow are evil anymore ' I pointed to my DM screen and said, 'yes I can'.
I believe I read the article you were talking about and I was wondering what specifically about it was politically incorrect (not prodding for attention or conflict just curious). Was it having to do with the humanoid infants or perhaps the humanoid virgin?
Amazing.. Fun Fact: i face once in a Run a char from my GM past that endup becoming a Lich.. Since his char was so Strong he never used hin before he turn into Lich.. (Its almost the same when yu reach max lvl in any run.. your char become a Demigod so its kinda hard to Pull off any new stuff for then to Face..haha) So in the Future he used his Char to Face us in a Run.. Amazing stuff.. Lich are really good enemy for Runs when yu Have a Party so strong like these. haha
If you are planning to makes a videos on Vecna, i've worked on his history for some times and can send you the canon history of this character since Gygax's time (when i was young ^^). It's a long writing i did years ago but he is, for me, the greatest vilain in the whole D&D history.
I’m surprised that you do not include the sacrifice of a baby in the list of ingredients. I believe in Baldur’s Gate II there was a scene where a wizard sought to steal a druid’s son to become a lich.
Lich character joins the party on the final stretch of the journey to stop a necromancer from gaining the same power. Lich seeks only to destroy competition, not stop evil. As soon as the campaign ends, the lich parts ways to places unknown.
I frankly hate the lack of rule mechanics regarding this template. To actually make this work you have to develop a precise background on how magic actually works. Otherwise your quest to stop a Lich or become one is like any tropy trash fantasy. I want a complete sourcebook dedicating lore and rules to a Lich. And it needs to be political incorrect. This game plays in a fictional world. It is escapism. Real life social debates should not be brought into it.
I completely understand that argument. As someone that loves to homebrew i love the idea of creating my own mechanics and rules around the lichdom process (which I also agree are absolutely necessary). I think my point was that if rules HAD been created say in 2e, we would be having real issues with them in today's environment (parts I chose not to discuss that had been outlined). The beauty of TTRPGs is that we can homebrew this... but your point is well taken.
Saying that it NEEDS to be politically incorrect feels as politically motivated as if someone were saying that it NEEDS to be politically correct. I think you should BOTH leave the table and find your own political RPGs instead of bringing your bullshit into ours. If you meant "I don't care if it's politically correct, or not" then I'd agree with you and you'd be welcome. But as soon as you start demanding that it MUST be this way, then you're as bad as the side you're opposing.
P St - Actually the debate of good vs evil are what makes horror palpable. If there is no light to escape to then your darkness is just another shade of grey and boring.
@@Raz.C - Very true. Look at the movies that are most memorable. They are light vs dark in the extreme. Darkness should be evil and something feared. Light must be purity and innocence.
👿🔱😈.. But they do age.. After they become so ancient there bones turn to dust and they become a demilich... TIME TO GO DEEPER into the rabbit hole homeboy 😉
No. There are no good lich’s. A lich has to be evil. This non evil lich is bs. Orcus is the god of undead and chaotic evil. This is just another way of destroying an npc character.
@@RichesandLiches i only write that because other channels say a lich can be any alignment even though they are evil in nature and consume souls to exist. Good videos btw
I would agree there are no good lich's however the possibility for a neutral lich exists. There are less evil ways for the lich to fill their phylactry (like bartering with nighthags)
@@altfemboy3109 lich’s can only be evil. Here’s the exact reason . Lich’s are undead. They are negative energy. They worship orcus. The fact that any dnd lore after 1st edition on the undead is complete bs. That’s why clerics and paladins can turn them. You cant be negative energy without being evil. No matter how much I keep telling the public to look at first editions rules ( which make more sense) , they keep going to the arch lich. Which in my opinion is one of tsr’s biggest mistakes. I would love to run a bunch of people from 3rd-5th edition in a 1st edition campaign. They would enjoy it much more. Especially the magic system with spell points instead of having to memorize spell’s every day.
LOVING THIS CHANNEL!!!

Good to know the old books were based. Lichdom is easily my favorite fantasy concept so huge thanks for these vids.

The Demi Lich was a Lich that had mostly deteriorated to just a skull.
and now a demi lich is not technically evil but super powerful and with said skull with many phylacterys embedded within @@redfaux74
