[QUOTE="Jack99, post: 4648480, member: 53135"] 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 >< [B]Drow Lich Level 13 Solo Artillery [/B] [I]Medium fey undead humanoid XP 4000[/I] [B]Initiative[/B] +8 [B]Senses[/B] Perception +13; darkvision [B]Necromantic aura (necrotic) aura 5[/B]: Any living creature that enters or starts its turn in the aura takes 5 necrotic damage.
