I think that, when you get to level 20, you can choose to not turn into a lich. After all, doing that requires a ritual and the crafting of the phylactery. If you don't do that, there's no way you can turn into a lich. However, ¿would my DN be underpowered without that feature?

But if you decided to take all twenty lvls and not become a lich i would say that you would make yourself a bit underpowered (at least in comparison to another lvl. 20 DN)

What most: we are not going to use create undead spells as evil ones (evil necromancers are boring).
