[QUOTE="MasterOfHeaven, post: 75053, member: 196"] Dr Midnight: If that was the case, the alignment descriptor would say "usually evil", meaning there is a tendency in that race towards said alignment. The Liches descriptor is like a Demons or Devils... which says "always Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic Evil", meaning they are _never_ good, unless a DM houserules that particular detail, at least from my understanding. This also makes sense considering what a Lich is and their history throughout the D&D universe. They are not made up of Evil, Neutral and Good mages/clerics, they are made up of mages/clerics so obsessed with "living" beyond their natural lifespan they are willing to sacrifice their mortality and become an evil Undead being. I assume Good and Neutral mages/clerics would not be willing to take this path. Still, it is your game, and your call. That's just my perception of the matter. drnuncheon: Excuse me? When did I "trash" the player? All I did was ask why a Lich (which, from my understanding, is always evil) was traveling with an adventuring party. I thought the Dragon might be interested in why a Lich would be traveling with an adventuring party, and so was curious myself as to why said Lich was doing so. At no point did I insult or "trash" anyone. Please don't take offense where none was meant. [/QUOTE]
