08-16-07, 03:57 AM Is it possible for a psion to become a lich if he only takes levels as a psion?
And are there any rules on how far away your phylactery can be?
Can it be on another plane?

Yes, it's called a Psy Lich. They were a staple of 2nd edition, (specifically the Ravenloft campaign setting). White Wolf made a 3.0 update when then had the contracts to the setting.

But... as of now, no official update to the psy lich has ever been made by WoTC.

Psy liches were notable in that they differed greatly from the classic array of lich powers (they can suck intelligence, etc)

You think a classic lich is scary wait till you see a 2nd edition meta psionist 17 psylich

However, in Complete Psionics they have the psionic equivilant called the Spectral Savant. You basically become an incoporeal undead, who can only manifest powers by stealing power points from other psionic creatures.
