The phylactery costs 120,000 gp and 4,800 XP to create and has a caster level equal to that of its creator at the time of creation.The prestige class would then be structured so that at first level you gained the undead type.  Then over the later class levels you picked up natural armor, paralyzing touch, fear aura, ability and skill bonuses, and ability to use the phylactery.  It would be a real gas if, at 1st level your soul would go into the phylactery when your physical body was destroyed,  but you didn't gain the ability to create and inhabit a new body until several levels later.  You'd be risking a pretty grim fate.Hmm. When I aproach the problem from that direction it looks a lot more like the Lich Monster Class from Sean Reynolds' Savage Progressions article <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sp/20031212a" target="_blank">here.</a>  Perhaps there is a happy medium to be found.Morrow</blockquote>
