Since it adjusts his ecl, just apply it to him like as if he were drow or aasimar (not actually changing his level, but the exp needed to go up in level). The next level he gets will be pretty far away, because now it takes more exp for him to go up in level. And as far as the advantages vs disadvantages of a Lich, you forgot a few obvious ones. Being immune to most necromantic effects is as bad as it is good, since many are beneficial, and also healing spells now harm the user. And being a rotting husk has got to negatively impact the character in social situations. As far as the special abilities in the Forgotten Realms, using a Ghost like template should work pretty well. Also, I would allow a lich to learn an additional power from that list (or perhaps a new power, with DM's permission) as a feat. I think this represents that Liches are supposed to become more powerful with time. This is something my group also does with any template, since having unique abilities to your race/template makes it much more fun and interesting, while still being well balanced because they have to give up feats to get them. What do you think?</blockquote>
