[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 3090901, member: 27957"] First I make the phylactery as a ring. It's traditional, and if it's good enough for Sauron it's good enough for me. Then I put the ring on my familiar. He's the one creature I know I can trust absolutely. If I'm a Lich I'm powerful enough my familiar is pretty bright, so I explain that protecting the ring is his first priority. Should a fight ever start to go badly I'll switch to delay and distract while my familiar flees to safety. Nobody bothers to stop and frag the familiar these days. Even if I lose the fight, my loyal familiar will have taken me to a safehouse where I can reform and grab my backup equipment. Then I can spend a decade planning how to get my best gear back with a sidedish of nice cold revenge. Being immortal lets you do that. Any location, no matter how well hidden or secured, can be breached by determined and inventive adventurers. A familiar is a smart, mobile, loyal guardian that can avoid adventurers and keep my phylactery safe. [/QUOTE]
