From there you get an idea of the damage range more or less, hp and defenses on track etc. A lot of time saved.Then I'd flick through creatures that might have powers that fit what i want to achieve.As Zaran said, I'd make his movement Teleport. Real hard to pin down. But check out the nice twist the Tiefling Occultist (MV p263) gives to his Teleport Move Power: Teleport 10 then an attack vs Will to teleport someone 10 from the Lich to the square he just left. Recharge 5,6.Now imagine how much fun that could be if you set up some interesting terrain that the Lich is unphased by. "The Lich in the midst of some aberrant living tree, surrounded and covered by thousands of long, whispy thin tentacles that glow neon purple. He blinks out of view and appears behind you. You feel his awful poetry tear at your mind! (Make Will attack) The world becomes paper thin, two dimensional and then folds in on you like a piece of paper. It unfolds almost as quickly and everything becomes solid again. You are now standing surrounded by whispy neon tentacles, embraced by the aberrant tree of stinging death where the Lich was only a blink of an eye ago ..." (Resolve effect for entering that area)Minor Action: As the Lich chants his horrid poetry, the characters from the epic tragedy he reviles you with step out of the paintings lining the wall, wraith like shadows of their former self, trapped in a moment of eternal suffering. They immeadiately reach towards you with cold, jagged claws drawn by the warmth of your life blood. (5 minions summoned this way/round; They act immeadiately)And then the Lich attacks ... Hehehe ... pretty good start.If you then design an awesome setting for the Lich to use to his advantage, with one or two 'star additions' to his powers, he should be pretty memorable, deadly, challenging and unique.</blockquote>
