If a character is killed by a greater dread, he or she rises as a dread. Dread Greater: ?Phantom: ?Semi-Lich, Foul Semi-Lich: These creatures, much like their more powerful lich relatives, were either magic-users or necromancers prior to their deaths. The semi-lich is created in the same general manner of lich manifestation. When powerful magic-users aspire to lichdom, they typically perform an experiment or two on their apprentices to make sure they will be successful. If the apprentice survives and becomes a semi-lich, the process is ready for [the] archmage. Spectre of Apep: ?Dread, Type of Skeleton: ?Dread Greater, Human Skeleton: ?Phantom of a Former Slave: ?Semi-Lich, Dread Form of Undead With Ties to the Prime Plane, Hateful Vengeful Spirit, Skeletal Figure: ?Greater Semi-Lich: The semi-lich was formerly a powerful wizard who lived in this home. A group of adventurers killed him, but he rose as a semi-lich. Spectre of Apep, Apparition-Like Form, Human-Shaped Figure: ?Undead: Book of Flesh magic item.Prowling Undead: ?Ghast: ?Ghost Creature Dog: ?Ghost Creature Wolf: ?Ghost Creature Snake: ?Ghost Creature Dragon: ?Ghost Creature Bull: ?Ghost Creature Lion: ?Ghoul, Normal Ghoul: ?Water Ghoul: ?Lich: ?Shadow: ?Very Large Skeleton: ?Skeletal Rust Monster: The rust monsters eventually died, but the greater semi-lich used an animate dead spell to raise one of the creatures. The skeletal rust monster still has the ability to rust objects on contact, but its tail, now skeletal, has been fitted with sharp, iron spikes. Standard Skeleton: ?Skeletal Creature: ?Wight: ?Wraith: ?Book of Flesh Wonderous item, very rare This large book is bound in thick, red-colored leather. A comprehend languages spell is required to read the book; in fact, it will not even open without that incantation. Any living creature that reads the book is instantly transformed into an undead creature of the corresponding level (CR in this case). There is no saving throw, and the effect is instantaneous. The reader’s alignment is instantly changed to match the creature. Not even a wish spell can reverse this effect; only by reading the book again will reverse the effect. Any undead that reads the book is transformed from its undead form to its original state; the age of the reader is adjusted to “middle age” for that particular race. Therefore, if a lich were to read the book, he or she would transform back into a human form and be approximately 40 years old. All abilities the reader possessed prior to his change to the undead are retained. After the book is read, it teleports to some other random location. Value: 10,000 gp</blockquote>
