Most powerful undead?

[Mystery Man]

Barring that, Orcus is always a good choice...

Dammit! I was gonna say that!

 

[Sir Elton]

Dammit! I was gonna say that!

Oooh! The same thoughts! Orcus is a great idea in part of this thread. But I think the most powerful undead would have to be . . . the Liche Demigod of Greyhawk. Vecna.

 

[VirgilCaine]

Either or Lich or a Death Knight, I'd imagine. The former if you want lots of magic, the latter if you want him to be able to hit people really hard.

Yeah, that 1hp/round just for looking at someone. Ow.

But I think the most powerful undead would have to be . . . the Liche Demigod of Greyhawk. Vecna.

Hail Vecna.

I'm not so sure. What about the Lich-Queen of the Githyanki?

 

[demiurge1138]

Well, Vecna actually is a god, whereas the Lich-Queen just thinks she is.

Vecna could take her, one on one. But she does have an entire plane's worth of githyanki servitors. It'd be a nasty match, if it ever happened. But Vecna's much more subtle than that... The Courting of the Lich-Queen, anyone?

Demiurge out.

 

[Krypter]

Well, since we're talking Orcus here, why not Tenebrous, the horrible, shadowy, un-God version of Orcus that appeared in the Planescape adventure, Dead Gods? He made undead out of demons!

Maybe not the most powerful, but definitely high on the cool factor.

There's a Pit Fiend Lich in Book of Fiends.

Well, if you're going that way, for my money the Iron Lich from Monsternomicon probably has the highest cool factor of any undead I know.
