07-23-03, 04:16 PM Since the Forgottn Realms book "Monsters of Faerun" tells about liches that become undead for good purposes (ie clerics and bards, etc.) is there another ritual that is required since you are becoming a good lich? I know about the true ritual in the "Sword and Sorcery: Relics and Rituals" but is there another book or place where other methods are stated? Also, is there a way for low level casters to become liches or is it only a higher level ability?

07-23-03, 05:07 PM The full lichnee process is described in REF5 Lords of Darkness (not the recent book with the same title). The fullest archlich writeup, in SJR1 Lost Ships, describes a slightly different process. In all cases, a would-be lich must be a high-level spellcaster (11th in the 3rd edition rules).

07-23-03, 07:59 PM VR's guide to liches has a good pattern. and there are good liches (baelnorn are elven liches who become liches to protect their families ^.^). Usually lichdom is done for an evil mean and the upkeep usually requires less than good tactics including murder, so that's why most liches are evil .:b:
