Looking for a Demi-Lich...

[Mithriltooth]

Anyone know if there is an official (wotc) conversion of the Demi-Lich anywhere?
If not anyone know where to find a good conversion of one?

 

[MerricB]

Yes, it's in the Epic Level Handbook, IIRC.

Scott Greene converted the demi-lich in a different way for his Tomb of Horrors conversion (pdf file).

Cheers!

 

[Mithriltooth]

Thanks Merric, I was possibly planning on making my own conversion of the Tomb. Ill have a look at the ToH conversion link though.
Im gonna take a look at my Epic Level book too (it's about time I opened it ).

Thanks again.

 

[MerricB]

You have the ELH? Huh?

One can imagine that the WotC conversion is quite... nasty...

Cheers!

Beat me to it, Merric!

I can confirm the ELH has the DemiLich, according to the Creature Locature.

 

[MerricB]

Nyaaahhhh!!!

I'm sitting at work, printing school reports. Oh joy. The system uses Microsoft Word and mail merge software (or something similar), and it is SLOW beyond belief.

I've been here six hours, and I'm meant to finish printing years 7-11 today. I've done all of yr 7 and 3/4 of yr 8.

Cheers!

 

[Mithriltooth]

Yep, Just read some of it.
There are some pretty nasty creatures in the ELH.

I was amused that so many creatures from Return to the Tomb of Horrors got into the ELH. RttToH has demi-liches, winter wights, and blackballs, and the ELH has conversions for demi-liches, winter wights, and blackballs, among others. It brought a smile to my face.

The Epic Level Handbook was written by Bruce Cordell and Andy Collins.

Return to the Tomb of Horrors was written by Bruce Cordell.

I wonder if there's a correlation there.

Cheers!

Now if only they'd update Return to the Tomb of Horrors, so I wouldn't have to update it myself for my campaign (luckily that's still a long while off).

I noticed a bit of that common thread between [RT]TOH and EHL myself, though I didn't make the connection that Bruce Cordell had written both RttTOH and EHL. I did find it amusing how the Winter Wight scaled form nasty in TOH, to really nasty in RttTOH, to incredibly evil in ELH.
