So, I was wondering what the daily life of a NEET Lich would be like.
Or any other strange character ideas.
So, let's say our NEET Lich was an elvish sorcerer. What would an appropriate name be...?
>>
>>26530675

I think a great deal of Liches are pretty much NEETS already, just give them access to Deep Rot and you are golden.
>>
>>26530701
But a beyond that one.
The kind of guy that doesn't even leave his crypt.
Hell, he doesn't raise minions, just reads the same spellbooks over and over, every day.
>>
Why even make him Elvish? The term Elf has zero meaning in the context you've provided.

Also to be a Liche or whatever would likely take a fuckload of study, I don't see any NEET becoming one.
>>
Lancel Morningshade, known to those few that know of his existence as Lancel of Solitude.

Idunno, if all they DID was study?
Hmm

>I wonder what archmage Porte is up to these days. Must have been ages since I was in wizard school with him. Maybe I'll summon up a portal and give him a call. Yeah, I'll do that...
>>
>>26530775
yes, yes.
I like the way this is going.
So, what would our NEET Lich be researching with all this time, though?
>>
>>26530834
How to be human again.
Can't fap as a Lich
>>
>>26530790
Oh, uh, nothin'
I was just... uhhh... stuff. Reall busy...
yeah.

>>26530860
>Let's see, if a graft human body parts onto me... no, no, too simplistic, there MUST be a better, more lasting way

Why would a fire elemental girl ever go out for you. Why not go for a water elemental since they'd go with your flow.

>>26531006
Plus, water elementals are always wet.
>>
>Oh no! I put too much dust i my crypt! I-I- I can't clean it people will notice I put in too much! I'll just have to pretend this is the way I like it. Ugh, this is so gross!

"Uhm... Yeah. I guess?"

Hmmm

Let's turn the skeltons on their sides and put their arms in a wheel and make a Skelecar.
>>
>>26531276

Because we're asshole DMs
>>
>>26531306
How will we ride the skelecar.
And why not a skelebus?
Or a skeleTRAIN?
A pseudo-benevolent lich could create a plane wide mass-transit system using skeletrains, skelecopters, and skelesubways

>>26530834
How to talk to people.
But when he goes in to town everyone flips the fuck out because oh shit a lich and he's just wondering what he said.
Then he grumbles back to his crypt and practices in front of a mirror for another ten years.

Oh god yes that would be hilarious. Just a bunch of SO RONERY undead that wish they could be one of the "cool" undead like a vampire so they could pick up chicks.

Something elfy, so it sounds really grand and mysterious, but every elf you meet laughs when you tell them the Lich you're hunting.

Firstly, the elf will explain, that Lich hasn't left the ruined fortress it resides in for three centuries. Second, the Lich has yet to cause any harm, and actually having him there keeps the ruins bandit and monster free, securing that frontier outside of the town. Third, the name of the Lich is elven, and the closest translation it can make is: "Don't look at me." And fourth, there've been hundreds of adventurers who've sought to slay the Lich, but they always wind up in town wearing illusions of ancient Elven clothes, and singing that hack Il'athriel Nond'nil's songs. Il'athriel's been dead a century, too.

Ghouls just want a cheap thrill. They aren't worth the time. All Sah-O-Nicht will amount to is some small fry in the beginning of a dungeon.
>>
>>26531667
All his feats are initiative, movespeed and attacks per round.
All points to dex, no other stats any good. (Mid range charisma, maybe). He doesn't deal shit but scratch damage, but GOD DAMN, he goes fast doing it!

Agata sounds like it would be a good name.

There was a thread, about a lich trapped in a treasure room. Who basically went insane and imagined adventurers and such.

That would be what a neet lich would be like.

>There was a thread, about a lich trapped in a treasure room. Who basically went insane and imagined adventurers and such.
That was a good thread.
>>
So what kind of tabletop games would the NEET Lich play?
>>
>>26531816
Generally most Liches tend to be (at least technically) undergoing education because independent arcane research and the like.
NEET is commonly more of a catch-all term outside of japan, roughly correlating to "basement dweller" or "neckbeard".
>>
>>26532593
Exactly this.
So, if our College student lich meets, say, Bas'Ment, would they become friends?
OR MORTAL ENEMIES?!
>>
>>26532578
Vampire the Masquerade, so they can pretend to be pretty undead that get chicks.

You wouldn't have a NEET lich, you might have a hikikomori lich, but not a NEET one.

And as for HK Lich it would simply be "I don't like outside" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqY1Qpu1Now

Can liches even cry or eat ice cream?

>>26534174
They cry essence of pure evil and can eat the ice cream but it just falls out the bottom of their mouth since it's bone.

Note: Essence of evil[Now referred to as EoE] and all EoE accessories are hereby part of LichCo.
>>
>>26534389
Essence of Evil is, of course, LichCo's best-selling brand of perfume (right after Eau de Ame)
>>
>>26534431
Essence of Evil, even though able, is not to be used in any form of Godslayer potions or accessories or for any product besides to get that ungodly death stench.

Side effects may include but are not limited to: Death
Nausea
Vomiting
Head Aches
Charisma Loss
Wisdom Loss

Easy to stat, if you want to preserve the frustration.

Max HP per HD and decent AC

Hasted

Pounce+Rend+"Overrun" (as in, it charges and gets to pounce+rend everything in its path that it hits).

"Auto" (or just high DC) 1 round stun+prone if it hits on a charge.

An extra Move action.

As a free action 1/day, may summon another bonewheel with a 50% chance of success into a square that is not occupied and provides concealment (darkness, cover, fog, etc) from non-bonewheels.

His dungeon is comically under-CR so that adventurers will always be coming through.

He always leaves large numbers of powerful magic items behind incredibly shitty traps.

He loads the place with skeletal kobolds wielding man-sized adamantine weaponry which they have no proficiency for.

I can imagine a lich fitting this trope by enchanting his miniatures to control his minions and having glamoured minis to reflect heroes entering his dungeon

He has he dungeon board planned out and has traps etc set up to trigger if he wants or automatically and he runs the party through his gauntlet, he even has his special BBEG mini at the end

He creates magical items, uses his knowledge of a long life to play the markets and earn gold

And he did this all so he could play games with his miniatures
