[QUOTE="batfishmobile, post: 7330312, member: 6909378"] As I understood Liches, they are trying to find the mystical knowledge of life and death, in order to become gods. Time is not really the factor, in fact they give up life to become undead. As for cloning, we have to assume that clones do not share consciousness with the original. Otherwise, why not just clone indefinitely, and be everywhere? A clone might share the memories of the original, but it is likely that a clone of the clone would not share the memories of the original as the original developed after creating the first clone. At the point that the original and it's clones diverge, it is almost guaranteed that they will end up as different people. This could become a big problem, especially if they end up having different conclusions about the end goal. If we assume, that these clones are kept in storage. Where they can't cause trouble, or even better, that they do not possess a soul or consciousness. They are kind of like phylacteries. But the magician would need some way to transport his soul, or body, to a location where he can possess his clone before death. It might be difficult to solve this problem. But at least he holds on to life. To extend his life, is probably notthe end goal for a "clone-hopper". His end goal is probably something in life, not beyond death.
