There's the problem of how people you meet will react to you. And I wonder if you don't pick up some traits from it... The crown is also more potent than what you can do with a normal polymorph. The wearer takes on all the powers of a lich... The Polymorph spell only gives you a very small selection of them. This is a much stronger and more complete change?It also gives you a short cut to owning a phalyctery. That is a process that 'normally' takes an evil ritual, 100,000+ GP of materials and a bucket of Xp. That's some serious evil power to be meddling with. Now, think about evil items - the more powerful they are, the less well it ends for the user?Just had a thought - - you're not trying to get a new sponsor, are you? I'm wondering if the snappy dressing and fancy parades of the Cult of Asmodeus has you envious.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /> You obviously want to try it... so I figure here's 3 options:1) Swallow your curiosity and get rid of it.2) Try it yourself - be prepared for an 'I told you so' reaction when it all goes wrong and the previous occupant hijacks your brain. I'll be upset when Reliq's dead, I like him. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />3) Try it on someone else. You'll know what it does? Although you (might) lose all your powers?Fiendish T'Rex - couldn't summon such a thing, even if I wanted to... Pseudonatural I can do... May look similar to the untrained eye, but mine are decidedly neutral? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
