and here's the "fluff from the previous post:
The Failed Lich is pretty much what is says on the tin. When a high level wizard attempts to grab nigh infinite power and undying life, their chance for true success is minimal. Blinded by thoughts of what may happen they fail to take into account what probably will happen.
Burned to a cinder with their soul shredded and shared by devils and demons alike is a far better failure than ending up as a Failed Lich, so close to success that is now forever out of their grasp.
Unable to rest, forever seeking a state of existence denied to them, the Failed Lich is obsessed with extinguishing life. They hope that with every life they take they'll be closer to either Lichdom or oblivion, but their curse is that lives lost at their hands heal them by absorbing some of their victims souls.
If they are defeated, they will rise again in 1d6 days if their skull is not crushed under the heal of a hero. What defines a "hero" is open to much debate.
There are reasons the Failed Lich has different powers for each of the three systems, but that's the topic for a whole 'nother post ;)
Using heal spells to crush undead skulls would be a nice touch. :)
ReplyDeleteThe T&T version looks terrifying....I think you could leave him with a ranged attack option as well as the flaming fists that pop with 3 spite damage. It would give the flaming lich an option to hang behind and use a mob of lesser undead to occupy the party while he murders them from range.
