I'm off on this one regardless. There are now lady lichs aka Lichesses. They've snappy dagger fingers and spines, spit a variety of unpleasant undead bugs, bleed poison, wash in elves' blood and feed on fresh centaur hearts. Their touch is enchanting, but aging; they've a fondness for fancy millinery and go to great lengths to mask their appearance and seduce elves and centaurs.

I may be the only one in the room here, but I'm running this babe tomorrow

sounds like a great villain! Hopefully, the encounter goes as planned.

Which version of D&D are you playing?

CON: People keep mistaking you for Death and challenging you to games of chess.
PRO: You have so much time to practice on your hands, your chess game blows away all but the elite grandmasters.

PRO: You have so much time to practice on your hands, your chess game blows away all but the elite grandmasters which you can blow away at your leisure in other ways, like with Fireball, Lightning Bolt, Disintegration... (there, I fixed it for you. )

Pro: you can walk through a raging sandstorm and come out looking better than when you went in...love that sandblasted polish!

Con: dunes can swallow you in seconds, even on a clear, calm day.

Pro: go "naked" and be mistaken for a skeleton- an enemy who underestimates you is a dead enemy.

Con: go "naked" and run the risk of being hung on a pole in a medical school

Lol, got to remember that one. Party looks into a room and sees a group of skeletons. "Pfft, this will be a snap. No need to waste any spells on buffing. Charge!" Five of the six die in a round or two, but the last one...

That's a recipe for a BEATING, right there...

And a male versus female lich could figure it out in a minute or two -- the hips are different, all the way down to the bone. Five minutes with an anatomy text and that issue is resolved.
