[QUOTE="eryndel, post: 1531523, member: 13120"] As a general rule, I wouldn't allow a lich to have a living phylactery. However, breaking the rules is where the interesting storytelling comes in. Imagine this: A lich decides to research the process of creating a living phylactery. He comes upon hints or legends of the procedure which involve someone of his own blood. The lich then proceeds to woo a woman to serve as mother to this child. Assuming the appropriate guise (through shapechange or what have you.) and a properly worded [I]wish[/I] to actually conceive a child. Now, more needs to be done. Perhaps the child must be born in a properly sanctified or consecrated space, the mother must imbibe special mixtures, and part of the lich must be kept with the child (probably imbedded in the flesh, a wound that festers and never heals). What would the abilities be of this child? What happens if the phylactery dies? Does the lich need to repeat this procedure if the phylactery dies, or does the child have the ability to pass this state to his/her children? There's a lot of fun ways to go with this. [/QUOTE]
