What's the lich for clerics called?

[Wippit Guud]

I believe it's in Monsters of Faerun...

Well, the standard lich applies to clerics as well - SRD: A lich is an undead spellcaster, usually a wizard or sorcerer but sometimes a cleric or other spellcaster, who has used its magical powers to unnaturally extend its life.

Though there was also a specific lich for clerics of Bane in Monsters of Faerun - I think it was called, with great originality, a Banelich.

I don't know about that book, be we used to call them clichs in our 1E campaign.

The Forgotten Realms has a number of 'lich-like' undead.

Alhoons (Illilich) are mindflayers that become lich like undead. Originally presented in the Forgotten Realms Monstrous Compendium for 2nd edition.

Archliches are good aligned spellcasters who basically 'forgot they died'. These were originally detailed in one of the Spelljammer Monstrous Compendium for 2nd edition.

Baelron (someone correct my spelling please) are elven liches that are the teaches and protectors of their families. Originally presented in Ruins of Myth Drannor boxed set for 2nd edition.

Baneliches were once powerful cleric of Bane or his demi-god son (whose name escapes me... where are those darn books). Originally presented in Ruins of Zhentil Keep boxed set for 2nd edition.

You also have the crypt spawn template or spectral mage template as "lesser" undead forms usefull for spellcasters.

- correct spelling: Baelnorn
- godson: Xvim
