[QUOTE="MwaO, post: 9834156, member: 12749"] Page 176 Monster Manual:[I] “Lich” is a monster template that can be applied to nonplayer characters.[/I] This is a rule. Monsters do not play by the same rules as PCs. This is a core concept to 4e. You are not a monster NPC, so you cannot cast it on yourself. i.e. if your PC did cast on it on themselves, you would become an NPC under the control of the DM. The rest of the stuff is just wrong. You do not generally roll dice in 4e, particularly on builds. Weapon Expertise and Light Blade Expertise do not stack with each other because they are both giving you feat bonuses. You generally do not gain access to artifacts and even when you do, why is the greatsword that wants to destroy all undead going to the Undead PC who wields a short sword? Anyway, done now, not even sure I'm talking to someone doing this themselves, but rather an LLM trained on a wiki that's mostly wrong. [/QUOTE]
