Dec 18, 2008 23:33:18 Just need a caster level of 11+, the Craft Wondrous Item feat, and the time and money to craft a 120k gp phylactery. Oh, and a willingness to choke down a +4 LA, which, unless you become a lich at the very last level of the campaign, is very, very bad for casters.

Dec 19, 2008 2:18:56 Walker in the Waste is the best in-game option typically.

Is this related to your "Nations" thread?

Dec 19, 2008 4:56:36 Yes it is related to the nations thread, but its for a different character. Idk if i want to do a dwarf or not, and since the game will go thru several lifetimes, id like to figure out how to not have to keep going thru different characters, and lichdom was an idea and so im trying to figure out how viable that is. i know i wont figure it out for several lifetimes, as arcane spells are kinda restricted and have to be researched and discovered, but i want to look ahead and figure out what to do about being a lich.

Dec 19, 2008 6:15:22 Walker in the Waste is a divine PrC so... wait for it... Archivist! And then just PrC into Walker in the Waste. That said, if you're doing this, try to make your settlement be somewhere deserty, so it makes sense.
