Explain the Lich, Please.

This is an example of what I mean. Using the Drow Arachnomancer as based, I slapped a wizard and lich template on top, and then made some tweaks. I also added an old-school power to the lich. Some like that stuff, some will hate it. I didn't look it through thoroughly, it was just to give you an idea of how it could look. It would probably need an immediate reaction or interrupt to be fully able to stand up to 5 players. Also, I didn't write down the wizards cantrips and the implement spec that it also gains. Also the hit points looked wonky ><

Shouldn't this power be a move action or a minor action? Otherwise you're spending a standard action to take a standard action...
 

It should be a move or a minor, and also be limited to 1/round, otherwise the lich could have 4 standard actions

Yeah, it was poorly worded. As I noted, I just threw it together real quick to give an example to the OP. The idea is that the lich can make two attacks per round, either Icy Touch + 1 attack spell-power, or any two attack spell powers.
