[QUOTE="grodog, post: 5973663, member: 1613"] That's because they were added to the game in Supplement 1: Greyhawk :D I'd forgotten about that one: nice catch. The Holmes basic set (and MM1 book) has a five-fold alignment system, but liches are (perhaps unsurprisingly ;) ) not listed on its chart. Looking at the similar chart on the PHB's page 119, I would surmise that in a 9-point alignment system, liches would be LN, based on their placement in the 5-point alignment system chart. Random aside: in OD&D, lich touch = paralyzation, no save! B-) [/QUOTE]
