Alignment: Any evil
Type: Undead
First appearance: Greyhawk

The lich is an undead creature; a spellcaster who seeks to defy death by magical means.

Ecology[edit | edit source]

A lich converts itself into a skeletal creature by means of necromancy, storing its soul in a magical receptacle called a phylactery. In some sources the method of becoming a lich is referred to as the Ritual of Endless Night. The lich creation process is often described as requiring the creation and consumption of a deadly potion which is to be drunk on a full moon; although the exact details of the potion are described differently in various sources, the creation of the potion almost universally entails acts of utter evil, such as using as an ingredient the blood of an infant slain by the potential lich's own hand, or other, similarly vile components. The potion invariably kills the drinker but if the process is successful it rises again some days later as a lich. Occasionally, this metamorphosis occurs by accident as a result of life-prolonging magic.

Unlike most other forms of undead creatures, the lich retains all of the memories, personality, and abilities that it possessed in life — but it has a virtual eternity to hone its skills and inevitably becomes very powerful. Like other powerful forms of undead (such as a vampire or mummy), a lich has unnatural powers owing to its state. For example, it can put mortals in a paralyzed state of hibernation with a touch, making them seem dead to others, and can, through its typically powerful magical spells, summon other lesser undead to protect it. Liches can radiate an aura of horror which can send weak-willed would-be foes to flight. The lich is capable of sustaining tremendous physical damage, and is immune to disease, poison, fatigue and other effects that affect only the living. However, despite all its undead "gifts," a lich's most valuable resources are its vast intellect, its supreme mastery of sorcery and limitless time to research, plot and scheme.

Vecna, the most infamous of liches.

Since a lich's soul is mystically tied to its phylactery, destroying its body will not kill it. Rather, its soul will return to the phylactery, and its body will be recreated by the power keeping it immortal. Thus the only way to permanently destroy a lich is to destroy the phylactery as well. Therefore, the lich will generally be extremely protective of the priceless item. The phylactery, which can be of virtually any form (the default form is a metal box filled with rune-covered papers, but it usually appears as a valuable amulet or gemstone), will often be hidden in a secret place and protected by powerful spells, charms, monsters and/or other servants; the phylactery itself is usually of magical nature, meaning its destruction will generally be no easier than attaining it.

Environment[edit | edit source]

Liches can dwell in nearly any environment, but they tend to choose isolated or hidden locations, such as ruins.

Typical physical characteristics[edit | edit source]

Liches often appear as skeletal beings, though this can vary with the amount of time a lich has been dead.

Alignment[edit | edit source]

Depending on the method of becoming a lich, a lich can be of any alignment, retaining whatever alignment it had in life.

Liches are mostly evil but there are references to good liches.

The reasons for good beings to become liches are limited but most of them come down to unfulfilled quests in life, guardianship over ancient evil, and the oversight of future generations.

The process for becoming a good lich is more difficult to discover, and in many campaign settings does not exist at all. In general, the process of becoming a lich has very evil requirements possibly making it hard for good people to their good alignments.

Variant liches[edit | edit source]

Acererak as a demilich.

Demiliches[edit | edit source]

If a lich exists long enough, it may reach a point where it feels it cannot learn any more in its present state and seeks other avenues to attain knowledge. The lich's interest turns away from the physical realm, and its soul voluntarily leaves its undead form and phylactery, using astral projection to travel across other planes of existence. The magics preserving the lich's body against the ravages of time weaken, usually causing the body to gradually deteriorate until only a skull or even a single skeletal hand remains; this advanced form of lich is known as a demilich. Despite its ruined body, a demilich is far from powerless; if disturbed, the skull will levitate and suck the souls from nearby living creatures. The most notable demilich is Acererak, found in the classic adventure Tomb of Horrors.

Don Turnbull of White Dwarf magazine said of the demilich in the Tomb of Horrors: "what is demi- about this creature of enormous powers, apart from the fact that only his skull remains, is arguable: the skull, in combination with the special arrangements which have been made to guard it, exhibits terrifying powers, and the 'rumour' which players will hear at the start, to the effect that this being possesses powers which make him well-nigh undefeatable, is well founded!"

Non-human liches[edit | edit source]

Other races also have their own special versions of the lich, which are not necessarily evil; for example, an elf might become a baelnorn (often elves who take upon themselves the duty of overseeing and/or protecting their house), or an illithid might become an illithilich, also known as an alhoon. A dragon can also become a dracolich. Dracoliches are greatly feared, for they are far more powerful than ordinary liches. A dracolich that became a demilich would be an extremely powerful monster, even by dragon standards. Lichfiends are evil outsiders that achieve lichdom.

Good liches[edit | edit source]

The Suel lich Zhawar Orlysse.

Liches are typically evil, power-hungry arcane or divine spell casters who have, as noted, cheated death by turning themselves into undead. However, good-aligned liches have been possible in D&D at least since second edition in the Monstrous Compendium, vol. 1 (1989). Their entry listed "Alignment: any", as well as going on to say, "In rare cases, liches of a most unusual nature can be found which are of any alignment."[1] A year later in 1990, the year before the Seragrimm trading card was printed, a good-aligned lich called an "Archlich" was published in Lost Ships, predating and seeming to be the rules-source for Seragrimm.[2] This was later confirmed further in the Monstrous Manual (1993), where the entry for Archlich stated, "... even lawful good liches apparently have existed"[3], though it does note they are exceedingly rare.[3]

Good liches are later presented in Monster Compendium: Monsters of Faerûn, a supplementary third edition rule book. Good liches differ from evil liches in that they have sought undeath for a noble cause, to protect a place, a loved one, or to pursue an important quest. Becoming a lich is an arduous task and can never be forced upon an individual.

The good archlich introduced in the AD&D Spelljammer accessory Lost Ships memorizes spells through intuitive nature and does not need spellbooks.

Aside from the alignment, there is little difference between good liches and evil liches. They have much the same abilities and characteristics, although a few have additional abilities. Good liches, for example do not exude the aura of fear evil liches do and clerics (i.e. priests) interact with them differently.

The fourth edition book Arcane Power included the epic destiny Archlich, which is intended for good, lawful good, or unaligned heroes.

Other variant liches[edit | edit source]

Other variant liches exist. Baneliches, extremely powerful priests of the Forgotten Realms deity Bane, grow in power every 100 years of their continued existence. Dry liches are desert-dwelling liches, the end result of the Walker in the Wastes prestige class. Psiliches are powerful users of psionic powers, who have used non-magical means to achieve this state of undeath. The Suel Imperium also had its own form of liches, the Suel lich — powerful wizards who learned the secrets of transferring their souls from one body to the next — at the cost of the bodies burning out in brief periods.

Notable liches[edit | edit source]

Mellifleur, God of Lichdom.

Liches are among the most powerful undead creatures. Notable liches revalent to the Greyhawk setting include:

Deities[edit | edit source]

A handful of gods were liches before becoming deities; these gods include:

Non-divine liches[edit | edit source]

Vlaakith CLVII, lich-queen of the Githyanki.

Publication history[edit | edit source]

Azalin Rex, Lord of Darkon.

The lich was one of the earliest creatures introduced in the D&D game.

Dungeons & Dragons (1974-1976)[edit | edit source]

The lich was introduced to the game in its first supplement, Greyhawk (1975). It is described as a skeletal monster that was formerly either a magic-user or a cleric in life. The lich was further developed in Supplement III: Eldritch Wizardry (1976).

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons first edition (1977-1988)[edit | edit source]

The lich appears in the first edition Monster Manual (1977) where it is described as having been created with the use of powerful and arcane magic, formerly ultra powerful magic-users now non-human and non-living.

Len Lakofka's article "Blueprint For a Lich," in Dragon #26 (1979), describes a formula for transforming a spellcaster into a lich.

Another form of lich, the demilich, was introduced in Tomb of Horrors (1978) and later appeared in Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth (1982), and then in the Monster Manual II (1983).
